What does the name Dunge mean? Can you tell me any history on the hamlet of Dunge?

Answer

The name Dunge, on the border between West ashton and Bratton parishes, is from the Old English 'dyncge' meaning manure or manured land. I don't think we will have any information on the hamlet, but I can send you information on the farmhouse & the moat site, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is too much to email, so if you would like to forward your address I will post it to you.
