Thorpe Salvin is a village and a civil parish in the metropolitan borough of Rotherham (part of South Yorkshire, England), on the border with Nottinghamshire. It lies between Worksop and Harthill, and is located at an elevation of around 110 metres above sea level. In the 1991 census, Thorpe Salvin had a population of approximately 400.

The rectangular-towered parish church of St Peter, a predominantly 12th-century structure with 15th-century additions, is emblazoned with Norman carvings, and has been nominated among England's 1,000 best churches. The village is also served by the "Parish Oven" public house.

History

The name "Thorpe" derives from the Norse for an outlying farmstead, while "Salvin" refers to 13th century lord of the manor Ralph Salvain. There are earlier references to the settlement though, including a mention in the Domesday Book as "Rynkenild Thorp", part of Roger De Busli's Laughton en le Morthen estate. This name refers to the settlement's place on the Roman road of Rynkenild Street, now "Packman Lane".

Thorpe Hall

Thorpe Salvin contains the ruins of "Thorpe Hall", a manor house designed and built by Robert Smythson in 1570. it was built on the site of the previous manor house for the then lord of the manor, Brian Sandford.

In 1636, the hall was bought by Edward Osborne. When his descendant Thomas Osborne became Duke of Leeds, he moved out to a grander property in Kiveton Park, and the hall fell into disuse. It was partially demolished in the 1820s, with only the south front now remaining.
