Background
History
The Hardington part of the name of the village means settlement of Heardred's people. The manor was held before the Norman Conquest of 1066 by Gunhilda, the daughter of Godwin, Earl of Wessex and then by William the Conqueror. During the 12th century it was granted to the Mandeville family, from which the second part of the name is taken. It was later held by the Portmans of Orchard Portman.
