Moorsholm

Moorsholm is a village in the civil parish of Lockwood, in the unitary authority area of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England.

Because of its proximity to the North Sea coast the area was vulnerable, historically, to attack by invaders from Scandinavia.

'Little Moorsholm' is a title now more commonly applied to a more modern housing estate between that farm and Lingdale.

The settlement was mentioned in the Domesday book as Morehusum, belonging to the Earl of Morton and later Clan Bruce, ancestor to the kings of Scotland, and from them descended to the Thwengs, Lumleys, and others.

[1] It was a planned mediaeval village built along a main street with crofts and their associated tofts on each side.
