Headstone
‘Hegeton’ in the 14th– the manor enclosed by the hedge
Headstone
‘Hegeton’ 1348, ‘Heggestone’ 1367, ‘Heggeton’ 1398, ‘Hedston’ 1754, probably 'farmstead enclosed by a hedge', from Old English. The unhistorical spellings with He(a)d- do not make their appearance until the late 17th century. The original name no doubt refers to Headstone Manor a moated manor house partly dating from the 14th and referred to on the Ordnance Survey map of 1822 as Headstone Farm; it is now the Harrow Museum and Heritage Centre.
