==History== The earliest evidence of settlement in the parish is from the Mesolithic and Neolithic eras, with a number of flint tools having been recovered. A barrow dating from the Bronze Age was excavated in the 19th century, with human bones reportedly discovered. The village name, which is thought to mean "old mound or hill" or "mound or hill belonging to Alda", may derive from this.
