Hofinghel in the Domesday Book (1086)

The settlement of Hofinghel is recorded in William I’s Domesday survey of 1086 in Cheshire.

The Meaning of the Name

The origin of the name Hofinghel is not securely established from its modern form alone; like many settlement names in the North it likely combines an Old English or Old Norse personal name with a landscape term.

Remarkably, the name has changed little since 1086, when the Domesday scribes wrote it as Hofinghel.
