History

The name comes from the Saxon term 'hoo' meaning 'Hill town' and Slade coming from the Norse 'slaed' or Valley. The hamlet appears in the Domesday book as 'Hotone'.[3]

On the Poll Tax records of 1379, a blacksmith named John Mirfin is recorded as residing in the area, the family would establish themselves in the hamlet, eventually becoming the main freeholders of land in the area.

Slade Hooton Hall is a Grade-II* listed country house, dating back to 1698.[4] The hall was built for John Mirfin. The surrounding walls and barn are also listed.
