English Heritage calls an earlier deserted medieval village of Scotterthorpe, "Scawthorpe", being just south-west of the present settlement, with evidence of tofts (homesteads with land), and indicating that there is no mention of its existence later than 1100 CE.[4]
Scotterthorpe is recorded in the 1872 White's Directory as a hamlet of Scotter, others being Susworth and Cotehouses. Revenue and taxes came from the "Town and Constable's Land", created after the early 19th- century enclosure of Scotter, with above 9 acres (0.04 km2) given to Scotterthorpe to support the hamlet as a constablewick [historically an area of land under the charge and jurisdiction of an appointed constable who would oversee parish civil and criminal law, and church law]. There were nine farmers in the hamlet.[5]
