Etymology
There are three instances of this name, the others being in Nottinghamshire (PN Nt 209–10) and Cheshire (PN Ch 4157). It appears to be a compound of tūn with Baldhere , with the personal name uninflected.As PN Nt notes, this type of name is common in that county. The omission of genitival s in such compounds is not common in Shropshire, though there are some examples, neighbouring Alderton being probably one of them.
