	Wisbech Hundred: Thorney \| British History Online
		Thorney is the only village in the Isle to have been for a long period the sole property of an occasionally resident landlord (the successive earls and dukes of Bedford), and the conspicuously neat aspect of the planned 'estate village' contrasts abruptly with that of its neighbours.
		Thorney in fact came as near as any in the country to the ideal of 'a wealthy landowner understanding the economics of agriculture, a farmer master of its practice, a village not over-populated, (fn.
		72) Thorney as a ducal donative does not appear in the various inquiries concerning education made by the bishops of Ely at the end of the 18th century, but early in the next century the dukes were making an allowance of £20 a year for a schoolmaster's salary.

	Car Tuner Grand Prix - Thorney Motorsport
		Thorney Motorsport are one of the UK's leading car tuning firms specialising in BMW and Vauxhall marques.
		After attending the Hockenheim German Tuner Grand Prix for many years John Thorne (owner of Thorney Motorsport) thought the UK tuning market deserved to host an equivalent event where tuning firms were able to actually demonstrate what they could do rather than just stand around at trade shows week after week.
		The 2005 event the response from the public and the tuning firms was fantastic, over 85% of last years entrants are confirmed for the 2006 event - that speaks volumes for how good 2005 was both in terms of the vent and the fact it represents a clear revenue generating exercise for the competing firms.

	De Bootje Gazette
		And not all left Thorney by the 18th C. For example, I have a copy of the 1906 marriage certificate for George Deboo and Sarah Eliza Briggs.
		The Anglo-Norman chronicler, William of Malmsbury, recorded that around 1130 Thorney was "…a little paradise… delightsome…a heaven itself…rich in the loftiest trees, where water meadows delight the eye with green…here are orchards, there vineyards…" It was a religious place, and site of a Benedictine abbey.
		Although we do not know for certain that Thorney was where he came from, this can fairly confidently be surmised from the fact that many Deboo families lived there and in the surrounding villages.
