Northorpe is a hamlet in the civil parish of Thurlby, in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated about 1 mile (1.6 km) south from Bourne.

The village lies on the bus route between Bourne and Peterborough, run by Delaine along the A15.

Northorpe is connected to the National Grid; work was completed in November 2006 after a campaign by local residents in 1997–98 which resulted in the approval for the work to be done.

A shoe display competition is held every July on the Green; local people design shoes, and the winning design is produced by village cobblers. This event has been under threat in recent years as the cobbler trade is struggling.

The village had a goat farm which produced popular south Lincolnshire goats' cheese.

Village amenities include a post box and a telephone box.

Northorpe is near to Elsea and Math Woods, the latter associated with the tale of Nanny Rutt.

Thomas Minot, later Archbishop of Dublin, became parson here in 1349.[1]
