Wretham / Thorp House / Wrotham Thorp

Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "E[ast, or Great Wrotham. I]s so called because it lies most east of the three Wrothams [...] Wretham (or Wrotham Thorp) [...], Wertham, (or West Wrotham,) [...], and Weretham (or East Wrotham) [...] The third was called anciently Little Wrotham, or Wrotham-Thorp, and now Thorp-House, there being only one farm remaining at this time; it never had any church, but was an hamlet to West Wrotham, which took the name of Little Wrotham after this was joined to it: it was a separate village at the Conquest, and so continued to the latter end of Edward II." The entry for this place in Rye's Topography (1881) is based on Blomefield [cf. supra].
