Church of St John the Baptist, Londonthorpe

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The church dedicated to St John the Baptist in the village of Londonthorpe stands on a hilltop overlooking Belton Park. The name Londonthorpe means ‘outlying settlement in the woods’. It is a Danish place name and marks where a Danish army demobilised and settled in 877 AD. There may well have been earlier Celtic and Anglo-Saxon settlements here. The hoard of Roman coins (pre 161 AD) found in 1976 at Manor farm suggests that a settlement here may have been a watering hole for Roman legions marching along Ermine Street nearby.
