Thorpe Mandeville is a village and civil parish in South Northamptonshire, England about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of Banbury in neighbouring Oxfordshire. The hamlet of Lower Thorpe is just north of the village.
The population of the parish has grown slowly over the centuries. It was recorded as 137 in the 1801 Census, 178 in the 1991 Census, 194 in the 2001 Census and 327 (including Edgcote) in the 2011 Census.
The Domesday Book of 1086 records the village as Thorp. "Mandeville" is a corruption of Amundeville. Richard de Amundeville was lord of the manor in the 13th century.
In 1346 a house and 9 acres (3.6 ha) of land at Thorpe Mandeville were listed amongst the estates of the Augustinian priory at Chacombe.
The Kirton family lived at Thorpe Mandeville manor house from 1554 to 1685. Thomas Kirton (1537–1601) of Thorpe Mandeville was Common Serjeant of London. The current ironstone manor house was built early in the 18th century. The south front of the house is of five bays and is in the style of Thomas Archer. It is a Grade II* listed building.
By the end of the 11th century Thorpe Mandeville had a parish church, which was included in the early endowments to a Cluniac priory of the Abbey of La Charité-sur-Loire that had been founded at Preston Capes in 1090 and moved to Daventry shortly thereafter.
