HOUGHTON
Old English 'farm by the heel or spur', a common name type. The projecting
feature at Houghton church does not look significant, but there is a tongue of
land jutting Northeast in the North of the parish towards Stockbridge. 'Houghton
Drayton' (1267 'Drayton') contains an element, Old English 'draeg' sometimes
meaning 'portage'. A well marked route, now with bridges, crosses the 3 branches
of the Test here to King's Somborne where the hundred met. No ford is on record
here, so goods would have to be manhandled to King's Somborne not taken by cart
if the route via Horsebridge was to be avoided twice the distance, round the far
side of John of Gaunt's deer park. 'Draeg' may, however, mean 'place where boats
can be dragged up out of the water'. There is a further 'Drayton' (995-1006
(14th century transcript) 'Draegtune)' in Barton Stacey, where again the Test
flows in several channels.
