Etymology
The Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names gives the derivation of the name Glentham as glente + hām, meaning either ″homestead frequented by birds of prey″ or ″homestead at a lookout place″. Caenby is said to probably mean ″farmstead or village of a man called Cāfna or Kafni″.[1]
Domesday Book
Glentham was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, as being in the Aslacoe hundred in the West Riding of Lindsey. It had a total population of 64 households (very large for the time) with tax assessment of 8 geld units (again very large). Land in Glentham was held by four separate lords before the Norman conquest and three afterwards:
Lord in 1066: Lincoln St Mary, bishop of. Lord in 1086: Lincoln St Mary, bishop of. Tenant-in-chief in 1086: Lincoln St Mary, bishop of.
Lord in 1066: Thorgisl. Lord in 1086: Rainfrid. Tenant-in-chief in 1086: Ivo Tallboys.
Lords in 1066: Estan of Farningham; Wulfmer. Lord in 1086: Wadard of Cogges. Tenant-in-chief in 1086: Bishop Odo of Bayeux.[2]
Religious Buildings
Glentham Grade I listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Peter and St Paul.[3] Originating in the 13th century, it has had additions and changes up to the 20th. It is mainly Perpendicular in style.[4] Nikolaus Pevsner dates the tower from 1756, and a stained glass window by Christopher Whall from 1915.[5] In the chancel and the north aisle are monuments and brasses to the Tourney family of Cavenby. Set within a niche over the south porch is an image of Pieta holding the dead Christ. At the west of the church is a mutilated 14th-century brass effigy of a female;[4] previously known as "Molly Grime", it was, up to 1832, washed every Good Friday by seven old maids.[6]
In 1885 Kelly's Directory recorded both a Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist chapel, and a nearby barrow.[7] At that time much land in the area was given over to pasture, while main crops grown were wheat, barley and beans.[8]
The ecclesiastical parish is part of the Owmby Group of parishes.[9]
