Background
History
The Domesday Book record shows there was a church with a priest and 60 acre of meadow. The village belonged until the 19th century to the historical wapentake of Winnibriggs and Threo. The Domesday village of Casthorpe is 1.5 mi west from Barrowby. By the 14th century it was referred to in records as two holdings, East and West Casthorpe. It is now little more than a cluster of farm buildings. A further deserted medieval village is Newbo, 1.5 mi to the north-west, site of Newbo Abbey. The village was located by archaeologists in 1970.
