According to the 2001 census it had a population of 561,<sup id="cite_ref-Census2001_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Census2001-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> increasing to 778 at the 2011 Census.<sup id="cite_ref-Census2011_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Census2011-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The villages name origin is uncertain but is thought to mean 'Bosi's outlying farms/settlement' or perhaps, 'bent-grass outlying farm/settlement'. </p><p>The village school has long been closed and is now a private dwelling. The church is located in a remote part of the parish, giving rise to the belief that plague, the <a href="/wiki/Black_Death" title="Black Death">Black Death</a>, once decimated the original community, resulting in the destruction of many local dwellings. Although no factual evidence exists to support this theory, the plague hit Norfolk very badly. </p><p>There are two notable private residences, known as Old Hall and New Hall. Old Hall is located close to Burgh Common and was also known as Plassing Hall. For many years it was a farm but has recently been converted into a private dwelling. It still possesses a section of moat and some original stained glass. New Hall was built between 1560 and 1593 by the family of <a href="/wiki/Robert_Drury_(speaker)" title="Robert Drury (speaker)">Robert Drury</a> (c.1456-1535), who gave his name to <a href="/wiki/Drury_Lane" title="Drury Lane">Drury Lane</a> in London. One of the daughters from this family was rumoured to have been drowned in the lake at <a href="/wiki/Lord_Byron" title="Lord Byron">Lord Byron</a>'s family home, <a href="/wiki/Newstead_Abbey" title="Newstead Abbey">Newstead Abbey</a>. Reference books on ghost stories claim that she was murdered along with a coachman with whom she formed a relationship; a 'phantom coach' is said to haunt the Abbey. The Hall possesses one of the few surviving 'tilting grounds' in England; tilting grounds were used for <a href="/wiki/Jousting" title="Jousting">jousting</a> by medieval knights. </p><p>A local road has achieved wider notoriety, because of the <a href="/wiki/Slut" title="Slut">connotations of its first syllable</a>: Slutshole Lane (sometimes Sluts Hole Lane). However, according to maps and documents held at <a href="/wiki/The_Forum,_Norwich" title="The Forum, Norwich">Norfolk & Norwich Library</a>, the road has also been known as <i>Slutch Hole Lane</i>. The word "slutch" was an archaic term for mud; it is said to be a cognate of "<a href="/wiki/Slush" title="Slush">slush</a>", although a rival etymology connects it to "sluice" (which originated as the Dutch <i>sluis</i>), in the sense of an engineering device created to drain <a href="/wiki/Fen" title="Fen">fens</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Wainwright-12Feb2000_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wainwright-12Feb2000-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It has also been suggested that the current name was the result of an error by census takers, during the late Victorian era. Attempts to change the spelling, including a residents' petition in 1999, have been opposed by local historians.<sup id="cite_ref-Wainwright-12Feb2000_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wainwright-12Feb2000-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="War_memorial">War memorial</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Besthorpe,_Norfolk&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: War memorial"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Besthorpe's war memorial is located in All Saints' Churchyard.
