Etymology
'The farmstead, village in the valley', v. dalr , bȳ ). Spellings in -au - for ON -al - for both Great Dalby and Little Dalby infra are due to AN influence.
Although both Great Dalby and Little Dalby were in existence by the date of the Domesday Survey, Great Dalby had the higher valuation and was probably the settlement from which Little Dalby, although in a different wapentake, was an offshoot. It lies at the head of a wide valley running north towards R. Wreake. Little Dalby, two miles to the east, is also tucked into the head of a small valley which opens to the north, and its name, although probably transferred from that of Great Dalby, is appropriate to its location. Great Dalby was held by Hugo de Chaucumbe 12 Nichols, by Robertus de Chaucumb 1212 Cur, e.13, 1231 Berkeley and by the prior et conventus de Chaucumb (e )1233, 1235 RHug, 1238 RGros, 1272 RGrav (v. Chalcombe, Nth 50).
