Thorpe in the Glebe is a very small civil parish in the Rushcliffe district of Nottinghamshire, England, characterised by open arable fields and a quiet, dispersed settlement pattern. The name betrays its origins as glebe land once owned by the church, and the area has a distinctly rural feel with few services of its own and a low population that has left much of the landscape unchanged.
There is little in the way of industry or commerce within the parish itself, so local life is closely tied to neighbouring villages and market towns; historically it sits within the fabric of medieval parish boundaries and agricultural stewardship. For visitors and residents alike it offers a peaceful slice of Nottinghamshire countryside and an opportunity to appreciate the county’s agricultural heritage away from busier tourist routes.
