I suspect these general Tidenham sites are all known to you, but maybe worth followingup offline ?

Unfortunately the ever-reliable British History site contains no references to Lumpland or Thorn that I can find:

I would have suggested the Old Maps site to study the old OS Maps but you've done that with some success, so....???

Hope this helps a little, I'll try again later when time permits.
