History
The name "Thorney" means 'Enclosure of thorn-trees'.[4] Thorney was recorded in the Domesday Book as Torneshaie.[5] The ancient parish also includes the townships of Broadholme and Wigsley[6] which became separate civil parishes in 1866.[7][8] Iron Age, Bronze age and Roman settlements have been found. There was a Saxon settlement in around AD 500. In 1853 the manor belonged to Rev. Christopher Nevile but was previously owned by the Nevile family.
