Etymology
Possibly 'Godelin's farm', from the ME (OG ) pers.n. Godelin (Förstemann PN 660, Forssner 120) and tūn; both the masc. (Godelen (us )) and the fem. (Godelena ) forms of this pers.n. are recorded from England (Forssner loc. cit. , Fägersten 126 note 3), and either may occur here. However, in view of the consistent forms in -ing -, -ing (e )s -, Dr von Feilitzen does not think the pers.n. Godelin a likely first el., and suggests that a ME pers.n. *Godling (< OE gōd 'good' + -ling , cf. the OE pers.n. Dēorling ) may be preferable.For an early mill here, v. Mill Mead infra .
