The Meaning of the Name
The origin of the name Skutterskelfe Hall 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 Skutterskelfe Hall.
