The settlement of Thorpe on the Hill is first mentioned in the Domesday Book. There was a small area of sokeland belonging to the King's manor in Bassingham. A berewic and sokeland belonging to St Peter of Westminster's manor in Doddington is also mentioned. The minimum population was 31. There is also a mention of a further landholding and a church in a dispute.

'Thorpe' is Old Danish, and probably means dependant farm belonging to a settlement, which in this case may be Doddington.
