Perlethorpe

[1] Perlethorpe is from Old Norse thorp/þrop "village", a place-name element common in Nottinghamshire, and nearby Lincolnshire.The second is that it's a deviation from the possible original name Palethorpe, pale meaning "area enclosed by a boundary".Lastly it may have been a deviation from Peverelthorpe[2] as William Peverel was a powerful landowner in the area during the reign of Henry II.Although the village has a much longer history, the oldest buildings which now remain date back only as far as the middle of the 19th century.[4] The parish records date from 1529, some 10 years before it became law for them to be kept, making them some of the oldest in the country.
