Beautiful English village with church and a lovely pub. Easy to park. Looking for a circular plastic tupperware tub about 12cm diameter
The village name, meaning "hill where thorn trees grow", is Anglo Saxon in origin. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Torneberge.
The village also has the earthworks of a roman village on its western border, in between Thornborough Bridge and the main village. There is a manor house with associated tithe barns in the centre of the village next to the pond. The village church is one of very few in Britain to have steel bells. The village pub is a thatched building with two bars. A second pub on the outskirts of the village was severely damaged by fire on November 26, 2007 and remains so at time of writing.
To the north of the village is the remains of an old windmill and on the River Ouse are the buildings of what used to be a working watermill. The disused Buckingham Arm of the Grand Union Canal runs between Buckingham and Western Milton Keynes to the north of Thornborough.
