@louannwarren Its aways been known as Toot Hill and not a railway line for miles, after some research going back to the Doomsday book the first censor in 1086 recording everyone in England, The King owned all the land although Great lords like Henry de la Weld of Toothill, Had a manor and paid taxes to the King, so it would appear that Henry de la Weld had a manor in the area, the lords who held manors like Henry de la Weld of Toothill were expected to provide men for the King’s armies and employed, clearly the area is named after the Lord of the manor since 1086, Every days a schoolday its amazing what you can find out on the internet Lou Ann:)
