Coates 1989 THEDDEN, grange farm in Alton Hypothetical Old English 'Theotdenu'='valley with a water conduit'. The name has migrated to the farm from the broad valley below (cf SHALDEN). It is not hard to imagine that there was a villa in it in Roman times supplied with piped water from Alton's spring(s). The mouth of the valley is at WILL HALL. But this is pure speculation. |
