==History== The name Atlow is derived the Old English for "Eatta's burial mound or hill". The Domesday Book lists Atlow as in the possession of Aelfric of Bradbourne in 1066 with a value of £1. By 1086 the Domesday Book records the village's value had fallen to £0.1, and was in the possession of Henry de Ferrers. The village is recorded as containing ploughland for 2, 4 acres of meadow, 0.5 leagues of woodland, and 3 furlongs of mixed measures.
