The name is said to mean "Lubba's Thorpe", i.e. a small settlement belonging to Lubba, an Old Danish name.[3] It has been spelled as Lubbesthorpe.[2]
Historyedit
It was listed in the Domesday Book as a group of nine households.[4] In 1302 there was a chantry chapel, founded by Roger la Zouch, and in about 1534 a manor house (described as "a very faire and gallant house") built by the Earl of Huntingdon.[5] By 1810 these were both ruins and the stone was being removed for road mending.[5] It was established as a full civil parish in 1866, with various additions and removals changing its area afterward.[2] In 1872 the hamlet, belonging to the Duke of Rutland, had a population of 64;[6] this rose to 118 in 1921.[2]
Currentedit
The current houses are a little away from the medieval settlement, the remains of which are now a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[7] (A rabbit warren here is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument.)[8]
As at 2014 new housing estate of 4,250 homes is planned, informally known as New Lubbesthorpe.[9][10]
