Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: THROCKENHOLT is a farm and cluster of houses on the Lincolnshire border about a mile north-west of Parson Drove village. It is first authentically referred to in c1133-51, when Bishop Niel of Ely granted a square mile (milliarium) of marsh, first called 'Everdewike' but afterwards 'Trokenholt', to Thorney Abbey. This grant was confirmed by Bishop Longchamp (1189-97) and by Edward III in 1348. The land was given for the service of God, and it seems to have been hoped that some kind of hermitage or cell would be established. At all events a chapel was built which survived until c1540, when it is shown on a map of Wisbech hundred. This chapel was where Throckenholt farm house now stands; fragments of stone, bones, and other relics have from time to time been uncovered on the site. The eastern and southern boundaries of the site are heavily wooded, and in 1274 and later Throckenholt was claimed by both Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.

In 1792 the farm belonged to Abraham Ulyat, who built the present house in 1806. John and Henry Ulyat are recorded as farmers in Parson Drove in 1851. Throckenholt Farm contained 209 a. 2r. 31 p., and subsequently belonged to John Goodman.
In the middle of the 19th century Throckenholt was described as a 'wide bleak fen, productive indeed, but with no other recommendation to a civilized being.'

There appears to have been a hermit on this site between 1100 & 1145 as there are references to a book The Life and Miracles of Godric of Throckenholt by Tom Licence (2006 ).
