 * A early mediaeval geographical village used to comprise of small tradesmans houses, and usually the richest man of the village/squire or Yeoman (between a knight and freeman), he would hold the largest farm / house. Usually the outlaying dairy farm/fortified house. This was known as the Thorp of the Village. The term "village" is the Anglo/Dane for village. The term "Thorp" is Anglo/Dane word for that part of the Village. Thats what a Thorp was. So if you lived in that and your name was roger, you would be known as Roger of Thorp/Roger de Thorp


 * Thorp is also a common surname, the Thorps originated in Lagdon Hills living it mud huts in Lincwood

Should be in Wiktionary
The current page should be a redirect to Hamlet (place), the current info should be moved to Wiktionary to fillout the extremely stubby word entry of thorp. BTW, nowadays, in Swedish torp (same cognate) means a little rustic house. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 09:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
