Birthorpe is regarded as a shrunken medieval village.[4] The Manor House and farm house are listed buildings.[5][6]
There was a substantial manor here well before 1300: the family who owned it took their name from the village.[7] The most notable family member was Roger de Birthorpe (died c.1345), who had a distinguished career as a judge in Ireland, becoming Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer in 1327. Roger was a somewhat controversial figure, who fled to Ireland after being outlawed for his part in a private war with Sempringham Priory, but eventually received a royal pardon. Birthorpe passed to the Deyncourt family before 1343.
