Scartho Village is a suburb of Grimsby, England with a population of around 11,000. Its population has been boosted due to recent urban developments such as the one at Scartho Top.
History
Although Anglo Saxon in origin, the earliest recorded reference to Scartho was in the Domesday Book in 1086. The Church of 1086, which incorporated Saxon work dating from before the Eleventh century, is substantially the same today, although with more recent extensions. The tower was probably completed in the early Eleventh century. The church is dedicated to Saint Giles.
In the first census of the United Kingdom in 1801 Scartho had 135 inhabitants. The population has grown rapidly ever since.
