Bilsthorpe Moor history

Bilsthorpe Moor was first recorded in 1840 within a tithe map as a discrete place. Maps at the turn of the 20th century showed a cluster of residences as well as a small pool, the Sow Dam (by the modern day Oaktree Drive) as the northern extent of the hamlet. By the middle of the 1950s there was a medium-sized farm to the north east of the village, eventually becoming a factory for poultry products.

Bilsthorpe Moor toponymy

The name “Bilsthorpe” means ‘The þorp (village) of Bildr’, or more Scandinavian, Bildi. Little knowledge on either person exists. The moor portion of the placename refers to its development on moorland.
