Edderside history

A Bronze Age rapier was discovered in the 1980s in the area of Edderside. The site of the present hamlet was inhabited by the second century AD, and there are Roman remains in the vicinity. In the mid-19th century, there were six functioning farms in the hamlet, each paying an annual tithe of twelve bushels of barley.

Recorded variant spellings include Eddersyde, Edarside, Eddysid, Etherside, Ederside, and Adderside.
