Background
History
The origin of the name Skeffling is unknown but possibly derives from the Old Norse personal name Sceftela or Skapti, and either the Old English ing meaning 'the place of', or ingas meaning 'the people of'. Another theory suggests its origin to be a Scandinavianised form of the Old English sceafting, meaning 'place of shafts', or sceaftlēahing, meaning 'the place of the shaft wood'. Skeffling is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) as Skeflingun.
