Cleethorpes is a town and unparished area in North East Lincolnshire, England, situated on the estuary of the Humber. It has a population of 31,853 and is a seaside resort.
The name “Cleethorpes” is thought to come from joining the words “clee”, an old word for clay, and “thorpes”, an Old English/Old Norse word for villages, and is of comparatively modern origin. Before becoming a unified town, Cleethorpes was made up of three small villages, or “thorpes”: Itterby, Oole and Thrunscoe, which were part of a wider parish called Clee (not to be confused with Old Clee).
While there are neolithic and Bronze Age remains in the area, permanent occupation appears to date from the 6th century, when the Danes arrived, with substantial communities only appearing in the 9th century.
The manor of Itterby was purchased in 1616 by the trustees of Peter Blundell’s charity for the benefit of scholars and fellows at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge from Blundell’s School, Tiverton. This is reflected in many of the street and park names in the area.
