Background
History
The name of the village appears to be of Welsh origin, meaning "great field" (). The northern part of Alney Island, which is within the parish of Maisemore, is known as Maisemore Ham, combining Welsh and Old English words for field or meadow (ham, meaning "meadow"). The village was originally around the church. Probably in the 14th century, the present linear village was replanned further south, leaving the church separated from its settlement.
