Birthorpe is a small hamlet in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated less than 1 mile (2 km) west from Billingborough and the B1177 Pointon Road, and 2 miles (3 km) east from Folkingham.
Birthorpe is regarded as a shrunken medieval village.[1] The Manor House and farm house are listed buildings.[2][3]
There was a substantial manor here well before 1300: the family who owned it took their name from the village.[4] The most notable family member was Roger de Birthorpe (died c.1345), who had a distinguished career as a judge in Ireland, becoming Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer in 1327; but he was also a somewhat controversial figure, who originally fled to Ireland after being outlawed for his part in a private war with Sempringham Priory.
