Before 1931, Stragglethorpe had been associated with the land and villages to the West of it, namely Beckingham, Sutton and Fenton. In fact, a thousand years before, it had been an outlying hamlet to the village of Holme. The saxon " thorpe " part of its name denotes this fact; confusingly, Holme Manor and buildings were just to the south of Sutton and were abandoned many centuries ago, the earth mounds and ramparts were levelled by the landowner in the early 1970's. It seems to be widely accepted by recent historians, but not proved, that the other church mentioned in the Domesday Book ( 1086 ) under the heading of Holme was in fact that belonging to Stragglethorpe. The expression " Stragglethorpe in the parish of Beckingham " is used repeatedly in the title of the Bishops Transcripts during the late C16th and C17th, These can be found in the Lincoln Archives.
