Etymology
The farm is situated in the middle of the extensive Horseley Fen infra 251 which was also called Horselode Fen . The second element is probably OE (ge)lād, 'watercourse.' The first element may be either a personal name Horning from OE hornung , 'bastard' (cf. Horningsea supra 145), or it may be the significant word horning , 'bend,' suggested for Horningstrate supra 32.
