Garthorpe, in Luddington parish, is a village and township, nearly 2 miles W. of Burton Stather, on the Old Don, which divides it from Fockerby, in Yorkshire. It has 469 souls and 1600 acres of land, bounded on the east by the Trent. Earl Manvers is Lord of the manor, but the soil belongs to several freeholders and copyholders, among whom are the Earl of Beverly,(impropriator,) Catharine College Cambridge; and the Foster, Pocklington, Lightfoot, Ingilby, and other families. Here is a Wesleyan and also a Primitive Methodist Chapel.
