Haslington history

---

The earliest mention of Haslington is in 1256, when it was called “Hesinglinton” The name is possibly derived from the phrase “tun among hazels”, or “enclosure amongst hazel trees” During the First English Civil War, a skirmish between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians took place on the southern outskirts of the village at a place called Slaughter Hill. Local legend says the battle caused the brook nearby to turn red from blood spilt.
