that Thorpe's lynchet hills would have provided seclusion from Scottish raiders and English Civil War troops?Source: [1][2]

- Not sure this wording works. It was (according to the article) Thorpe's seclusion that made the village a save haven from raiders. This wording makes it sounds like the strip lynchets (farming terraces) had some sort of defensive function, which they don't. Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:31, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- @The joy of all things and Bogger: can you respond to the above? Kingsif (talk) 00:55, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, I apologise if I worded it incorrectly in the article, but the seclusion of the village being surrounded by reef knolls made it a safe haven during Scottish raids and the Civil War. The strip lynchets are an agricultural process, and are not defensive in any way. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 11:53, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

History?
editMuch of the material in this section is not actually historical and would be better removed elsewhere - a geography section perhaps.. The reef knoll material would work better in a geography section; though of interest, the parish is perhaps too small to sustain a geology section. Geopersona (talk) 20:40, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
