History of Hanwell
The name of Hanwell is of such antiquity, that its origin is likely to remain a matter of conjecture for all times. Never the less, various suggestions have been put forward: Near to the old Rectory and close to Hanwell spring, is large stone of about a ton in weight. the Anglo-Saxons had the word 'Han' to denote a boundary stone. This juxtaposition of these two natural features could have given rise to the name Han-well which dates back to before the Domesday Book. The earliest surviving reference is AD 959 when it is recorded as Hanewelle in pledge, when Alfwyn (a Saxon) pawned his land for money to go on a pilgrimage
