The village we’re visiting today has a good sense of community with over a third of respondents to a survey in the spring of 2015 stating that the aspects of life they most liked in it were the size and make-up of the village; the peacefulness and village feel and community spirit and friendliness. I can’t say I disagree with any of that, knowing the place as I do. It’s somewhat of a compact village surrounded by countryside and fields used for a variety of agricultural purposes. The name means "the thorn-bush of the Scot or Scots", suggesting it has some links to the Scottish. Scothern" frequently appears in many records as "Scothorne". You may also see it as "Scottern". The village has a long history and dates back to the Domesday book. Records from 1842 show that the village was a thriving, self-contained community with a variety of trades. It may have grown since, but the village core retains something of a medieval street pattern and properties that date largely from the 18th and 19th Century. Richard Ellison built a Public Elementary School here in 1837. It could hold 130 children. The modern day school takes the Ellison name. There is a small garden centre, and this is the only kind of retail facility the village currently has, other than the Bottle and Glass public house and Mark Harris Commercials Let’s not forget the Welton Oil Field. There’s a huge site with plenty of nodding donkeys here. Welcome to SCOTHERN. **** My name is Andy. I am armed with a car, a GoPro and an unhealthy amount of time on my hands.
