More on Hale
The name Hale, which comes from Old English meaning "shelter" provides a clue that the village may have dated back to Anglo-Saxon times. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, stating that the manor of Hale was owned by a Saxon thegn Aelfward. Following Norman Conquest, the property passed to Hamon de Massey. When the Massey family line became extinct in 1340, the property was divided among three owners.Meanwhile, Hale grew and a prosperous village, particularly by the 15th century. It even resulted in a spin-off village, named Hale Barns. In the mid-19th century, the railway line was extended to Hale, enabling commuters to travel to work in Manchester. This effectively turned Hale from a farming community to a middle class neighborhood.
