Etymology
'Hart's horn', v. heort , horn , no doubt named from Horn Hill, south-east of the village, from its supposed resemblance to a hart's horn. The DB entries refer to the two parts of the village; in the more northerly is the old Hall and in the more southerly the old Manor House and Church (FW). Cf. Hartshorn Fm (PN Nt 54).
