History
Thorngumbald was once a Norse settlement. Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book as "Torn"; the Old English word þorn, meaning 'thorn'. This name was still in use in 1228, but by 1260 it had become "Thorne". In the lay subsidy rolls of Edward I, 1297, the name is given as Thorengumbald: the added suffix is from a Baron Gumbaud who possessed the manor in the 13th century.[1]
By the 17th century the village had had different spellings, including Thorgumbaud, Thorngumbold, Thorneygumbald and Gumberthorn.
The Gumbaud family still live in the village.
