Grimblethorpe is a hamlet in the civil parish of Gayton le Wold, in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 6 miles (10 km) west from Louth and just north of the village of Gayton le Wold, on the A157 road.
Grimblethorpe was formerly an extra-parochial tract,[1] in 1858 Grimblethorpe became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Gayton le Wold.[2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 14.[3]
Grimblethorpe Hall is a Grade II* listed building dating from 1620, and built of red brick. It was possibly built for Sir Ralph Maddestone, who held Grimblethorpe at the end of the 16th century.[4]
The hamlet is 650 yards (600 m) south of a deserted medieval village (DMV), not mentioned in the Domesday Book.[5] Grim's Mound, 650 yards west from the DMV, is a Bronze Age bowl barrow, 62 feet (19 m) in diameter and 9 feet (2.7 m) high. It contains archaeological items, including human remains, and is an ancient scheduled monument.[6]
