| History | At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086 Boythorpe was one of the berewicks or hamlets of the manor of Newbold, part of the King’s land. Although never a large settlement in the medieval period it was a vill and had its own common fields. During the reign of Edward III Ralph Longford held a moiety of the manor of Boythorpe. This was sold in 1536 by Ralph Longforth to Sir Godfrey Foljambe. By the 1630s Boythorpe had been fully enclosed.
