Etymology
'Thorald 's village,' v. þorp . ON Þórald (r ) sometimes underwent assimilation to Tharald in Norway; it is evidenced in Norway from about 1380 (LindN). That is the date when Norwegian documents begin to be plentiful and the change may well have taken place earlier. It is hardly, however, older than the 12th century. Cf. IPN 92, Introd. xxiii. v. Addenda lix.
In the early part of the 14th century Tharlesthorpe and Frismarsh (supra 24) suffered inundations (Melsa ii, 196). In 1353–6 the former was again flooded and floodgates were made (id. ii, 102). After further floods in 1393 the grange was abandoned and a few years later it was covered by the Humber (ib. iii, 183, 243). The name remained for some time as that of the manor.
