History[]

The name Hatton means "heath farm/settlement" and likely derives from the Old English words hǣð (heather, a tract of uncultivated land) and tūn (a farmstead or settlement).[3]

Hatton was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Etune,[4] under the ownership of Ilbert of Roullours. The entry lists only one household (a villager), making it amongst the smallest 20% of settlements recorded in the survey.[5]

The settlement was a township within Waverton parish, Broxton Hundred, which became a civil parish in 1866. The population was recorded at 152 in 1801, then 164 in 1851, 134 in 1901 and decreasing to 126 by 1951.[1]

Landmarks[]

Hatton Hall moated site is an ancient monument and dates to c.1200. The moat surrounds an island of approximately 60m x 55m upon which stood the hall, a quadrangular structure of timber.[6] The hall was replaced by the present farm house c.1830 and a sandstone revetted causeway was constructed in the early 19th century. These are both Grade II listed buildings.[7][8]
