Etymology

'The burh of Healla 's people.' The same pers. name is the source of Hailing (K), Hallington (L), and the lost Halling (PN Bk 156). v. PN in -ing 37, 180. Cf. Harlow Hill infra 47.The burh was probably Wallbury Camp infra 35.

Great Hallingbury was also distinguished by its church of St Giles (1238 FF). The heiress of the Langualleis became the ward of Hubert de Burgh , who married her to his son John . In 1316 the estates passed by marriage to Robert de Morley of Morley (Nf).

Little Hallingbury was called Neville from the family of Hugh de Neville (1189 EAS x), Strattone from that of Adam de Stratton (1276 M) and Bourcher probably from that of John Bourcher (cf. EAS vi, 306).
