History

Bathingbourne was the name of a manor in the ancient parish of Godshill. It was alternatively known as "Baddingbourne" and "Bangbourne" in the 16th century, but before that it was earlier known as Beaddingaburn (10th century, Bedingeborne (11th century), Baddingebourne (13th century), and Bathyngbourne (14th century).[2]

Bathingbourne was one of five manors granted by King Eadwig (reigned 955–959) to his thegns, although a previous charter of King Edred (reigned 946–955) also parcelled out this land, but Edred's charter divided the land along different boundaries.[2] The manor is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086.
