Old Basing
Old Basing is a village in Hampshire, England, just east of Basingstoke. It was called ''Basengum'' in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and ''Basinges'' in the Domesday Book. Etymology The name Basing comes from two Old English components: ''Basa'', the name of an Anglo-Saxon tribal leader, and the suffix ''-ingas'', meaning "people of". This origin is shared with Basingstoke, which came from adding the additional component ''stoc'', meaning "secondary farm/settlement", reflecting that Basing was originally the larger settlement. The adjective ''Old'' was added officially in the latter half of the 20th century (between 1968 and 1986 according to OS maps); a 1911 local history referred to the village as Basing, with Old Basing listed as an alternative name. History Old Basing was first settled in the sixth century by a proto-Anglo-Saxon tribe known as the '' Basingas''. In the ninth century it was a royal estate and it was the site of the Battle of Basing on or about 22 January 871 A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
