Etymology
The name Hatton is derived from the Old English hæþ-tun, meaning "settlement on the heath".[1] The affix "cold", in English placenames, usually is taken to refer to a village's cold or exposed location. There is another hamlet called Cold Hatton Heath immediately to the east.
History
The area was formerly a manor held by Lilleshall Abbey, and later formed part of the estates of the Duke of Sutherland, who had a number of houses built in the village using local red sandstone.[1]
