Notes about this historic site
1 The site of the depopulated village of Hatton, now occupied by two farms, lies about one mile W of Hampton Lucy village.
2 In the 1332 lay subsidy there were seventeen people taxed here. Rous speaks of it as destroyed and Dugdale as ‘antiently depopulated’. Dating is difficult, but could have been from 1488 to 1512. Information from the VCH would put the site at roughly the grid reference above. The tithe award and air survey do not help.
3 No trace of the village. The area is grass covered.
4 Documentary evidence indicates desertion between 1372 and 1452.
