Etymology
The three Huttons (Huttons Ambo refers to High and Low Hutton) in this parish may all derive their names from a single hoh. High Hutton and Hutton Hill stand on small ridges of land, but Low Hutton is on the bank of the river Derwent.A ridge of land traverses the parish from north to south and juts into a bend of the Derwent in the shape of a tongue. This spur of land may have given rise to all three Hutton names.v. hoh , tun . The Bardolfs held land in this district in the 12th and 13th cents.
