Upperthorpe is a historic village and now an area of the village of Westwoodside in the civil parish of Haxey in the unitary area of North Lincolnshire in Lincolnshire, England. It is located to the east of Westwoodside and the north of the town of Haxey. The population of Upperthorpe is included in Westwoodside.[1] [2] [3] The village was historically separate but, due to the expansions of both Haxey and Westwoodside, the village has no center or separate identity anymore although books do mention it in passing as well as North Lincolnshire Council and the parish council.[4] [5] [6]
