Background
History
The village originally grew around a Norman castle, whose motte lies next to the church. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Feltone, and as "Felton by le Knokyn" in 1303. The name Felton probably represents a combination of Old English feld, "open land", and tun, "settlement". is dedicated to St Michael, and has a chapel of ease at Haughton.
