Scottlethorpe is a village in Kesteven, the south-western part of Lincolnshire, standing about three miles north-west of Bourne, on the A151. It is within Kesteven's Beltisloe Wapentake.
The local area is part of the Grimsthorpe Castle estate.
The modern settlement is a series of cottages and a small terrace of houses extending along Scottlethorpe Lane between the modern village of Edenham and the site of the mediæval chapel.
Scottlethorpe appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Scachertorp", consisting of 3 households. In 1086 the lord of the manor and Tenant-in-chief was Robert of Tosny.[1]
There were mediæval chapels in the area, one at Scottlethorpe, and others wider afield. The remains of the 12th-century chapel at Scottlethorpe exist as part of a barn at Manor Farm. However, the barn doorway might have come not from the chapel, but from Vaudey Abbey[2]
