NY 984757. Hallington deserted medieval village. (1)
Hallington placename originates from the Old English halig (holy/sacred/dedicated to sacred use - originally heathen, later Christian) and denu (valley) meaning `holy valley'.
Hallington is documented in the early 13th century as Halliden when an exchange of lands was recorded between Archbishop Gray of York and William, son of Wiliam Waukelin of Halliden. In 1301 it is recorded as having arable land, meadow and a messuage. In 1495, the vill at Halliden is recorded in a lease of the Archbishop of York. Earthworks relating to the vill are apparent in the field north of Hallington Hall. (2)
