History

The settlement of "Tatenale" was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name is believed to be derived from the Old English personal name "Tata" and "halh", meaning "a meadow". The spelling of the village has altered over the centuries: "Tatenhala" (1280), "Tattenhall" (1289), "Tatnall" (1473), "Tottenhall" (1553) and "Tettenhall" (1649).
