History

The name comes from a personal name "Hano" and the Germanic "Gardo" and means ‘Hano’s garden’.
In 1135 the name was spelt ‘Hangardum’.
Stone-age tools of flint, in the shape of blades, arrows and axes have been found in the area.
A dolmen once stood nearby but has now disappeared into the marshy land.
During World War I, on the 28th March 1918, the village was evacuated.
By April 1918 the village had been totally destroyed.
