Background

History

According to A Dictionary of British Place Names, Letton derives from probably "a leek enclosure or herb garden", from the Old English 'lēah' with 'tūn', in the Domesday Book written as "Letune", in 1242 as "Lettun", and in 1291 as Lecton. Letton in the Domesday Book is listed as part of the hundred of Elsdon of Herefordshire and the land of Roger de Lacy, who was tenant-in-chief to king William I. The 1086 population was part of ten households, and included two slaves, one priest, and seven settlers, in a ploughland area defined by one lord's, and one men's plough teams. Resources included a mill. The lord in 1086 was Tezelin, who had received the manor from the 1066 lord, Edwy the noble.
