whose population declined during the 15th century, and the church, dedicated to Saint Martin, which was pulled down in the early 16th century. Southorpe existed as a separate civil parish from 1858 to 1932, when it was abolished to enlarge that of Northorpe. The site of Southorpe is a scheduled monument.
It is possible both villages existed at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086, as the village of "Torp" is listed five times, and includes a total population of 40 households.
The parish church is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and is a Grade I listed building built of limestone and dating from the 12th century, with later additions and a restoration of 1905. There are several 17th-century monuments in the church to the Monson family.
