Thorpe in the Glebe is a deserted medieval settlement located in Nottinghamshire, England. The site comprises the remains of a nucleated village with an associated parish church, representing a typical medieval English rural community organised within the open field agricultural system characteristic of the Midlands. The settlement and its church are documented in medieval records, and archaeological evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation patterns survives in the landscape, indicating the extent of the medieval agricultural exploitation of the surrounding land. The site's abandonment and subsequent preservation as earthworks provides significant archaeological evidence for understanding medieval settlement patterns, social organisation, and land use in this region.
