Coates 1989 HALTERWORTH, hamlet, now suburb, of Romsey Gover suggests hypothetical Old English 'Healdtreow-worth'='shelter tree curtilage'. An expression 'healde treow' is found in an Anglo Saxon period (901 (early 11th century transcript) document. Possibly the element is really 'heald'='leaning, sloping'. Otherwise uncertain. |
