Background
History
Amcotts is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book with eight households. A chantry chapel was founded in the mid-15th century by Geoffrey Crowle and William Amcotts. Formerly a township of Althorpe parish, Amcotts was created a civil parish in 1866 and enlarged in 1885 by gaining part of neighbouring Luddington. Amcotts Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Mark, and was built in 1853 to replace an earlier church dedicated to St Thomas A Becket which fell down in 1849. Amcotts CE School, built in 1860 as a National School, closed in 1961. In 1974 properties in the village were subject to significant damage because of the Flixborough disaster.
