Quarrington, Lincolnshire history
Early
Palaeolithic and Bronze Age materials have been discovered in and around Quarrington. While nearby Old Sleaford is known to have been settled in the Iron Age and occupied by the Romans.
Medieval
Quarrington’s medieval name was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) as Corninctune or Cornunctone, from the Old English cweorn (“mill”) and tun (“homestead”), meaning “miller’s homestead” Ramsey Abbey was granted a manor in the village by Jol of Lincoln, a monk, in c. 1051. A separate village, Millthorpe was also recorded, but the archaeologists Fiona Walker and Tom Lane suggest this may have been an alternative name for the village. In the Lay Subsidy of 1334 in 1334 the village was valued at £4 10½d., slightly below average for its wapentake.
Early and later modern
The Bishop of Lincoln alienated his lands at Quarrington to the Crown in 1547. They passed to Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset and Lord Protector, but reverted to Crown on attainder for treason in 1549. A 1563 diocesan return shows that 17 families lived in the village and 120 people took Holy Communion. By 1872, the parish spanned 1,620 acres and the village contained 63 houses.
