SHODDESDEN, farms in Kimpton
Probably Old English 'valley of Scott', used as a personal name rather than meaning 'the Scot/Irishman'. Or was the ancestry of Agemund who held the manor before 1066 that of an Irish Viking? His name is Scandinavian in origin. The modern forms emerge in the 16th century (1579 'Shaddesden' 1699 'Shodsdeane'). Gover thought that the Domesday Book manor of 'Soresdene' was in fact Shoddesden; it is otherwise unidentified, and there have long been two significant farms here. They may have turned up in Domesday Book as 'Sotesdene' and 'Soresdene' a mistaken distinction. VCH (IV, 342) equates 'Soresdene' with SARSON, and there is indeed a family connection between the Domesday Book lord of 'Soresdene' Waleran venator 'the hunter', and the later lords of Sarson. Certainty is not possible; both places are in Andover hundred as the Domesday Book 'Soresdene' is.
