SHALDEN
Old English 'shallow valley'. The earliest form means 'by the boundary of the people of Shalden'. The name has obviously migrated. Shalden is on top of a ridge surrounded by rather steep, narrow valleys. Maybe the one to the east, where 'Shalden Park Wood' is situated, is intended; the valley to the west was probably THEDDEN, another case where a present day 'denu' name is situated high.
