Thornton le Moor is a village in the civil parish of Owersby in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England, situated approximately 5 miles (8 km) south-west from the town of Caistor. Between 1866 and 1936 Thornton le Moor was a separate civil parish.[1]
Near the village are the remains of the deserted medieval villages of Beasthorpe[2] and Cauthorpe.[3] In the Domesday Book of 1086 Thornton le Moor is written as "Torentone", consisting of eighteen households.[4]
The parish church is dedicated to All Saints and is a Grade II* listed ironstone building dating from the 11th century. It was restored 1871. There is a fragment of an 11th-century limestone cross shaft built into the back of an aumbry in the north wall of the chancel.[5]
