History [link]
Formerly a township of Althorpe parish, Amcotts was created a civil parish in 1866 and enlarged in 1885 by gaining part of neighbouring Luddington.[2][3]
Amcotts was listed in Domesday Book of 1086 when it consisted of eight households.[4]
A chantry chapel was founded in the mid 15th century by Geoffrey Crowle and William Amcotts.[5]
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.[2][6]
Amcotts CE School was built in 1860 as a National School, which closed in 1961.[7]
In 1974 properties in the village suffered significant damage due to the Flixborough disaster.[citation needed]
Marae [link]
The hamlet of "Marae", or "The Marshes" now a deserted medieval village of which no surface evidence remains, was supposedly at the outfall of Mere Dyke on the River Trent, which is now in Amcotts, but then was in Luddington parish which extended to the bank of the Trent until 1885.[8] At the time of Domesday Book of 1086, Marae was listed as having three households.[9]
