From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raventhorpe is a hamlet in North Lincolnshire, England. It is located just east of Scunthorpe, and south east of Scunthorpe Steelworks, adjacent to the A18. Raventhorpe was described in the Domesday Book as a settlement in the hundred of Manley, with 9 households in the year 1086.[1] Immediately south west of Raventhorpe Farm is the site of a scheduled monument, which consists of medieval earthworks and the buried remains of several buildings.[2] In the early 1870s Raventhorpe was described by John Marius Wilson in the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales as "a hamlet in Appleby parish, Lincoln; 4¼ miles W of Glanford-Brigg".[3]
