At the 2001 Census the population of Noctorum was 4,990 (2,360 males, 2,630 females).[2] Due to a redefining of post towns by the Royal Mail in 2003, Noctorum is identified as being within Prenton (which is in fact a geographically separate suburb of Birkenhead), yet this was only a postal change and Noctorum itself still remains a part of Birkenhead. HistoryThe name Noctorum is of Old Irish origin, originally Cnocc Tirim, meaning 'Dry Hill'.[3] This may be in reference to Bidston Hill,{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}} of which Noctorum is situated on its western slope. The name may long pre-date the Norse-Irish settlement in the early 10th century and go back to a Hibernian settlement of the west coast in the Sub-Roman period (early 5th century).{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} Noctorum appears as Chenoterie (Norman French) in the Domesday Book of 1086.[4] "Chêne" (French for oak) may be used here as in the Wirral hamlet of Landican (Old Welsh/Brythonic) called Landechene, the Oak Enclosure in the Norman French of the Doomsday Book. Noctorum Lane is the site of Rathmore, a Grade II listed house designed by Edmund Kirby[5] and built in the 1880s. Noctorum was a township of the parish of Woodchurch, in the Wirral Hundred. The population was 17 in 1801, 32 in 1851 and 212 in 1901.[6] It was added to Birkenhead civil parish in 1933 and part of the County Borough of Birkenhead, within the geographical county of Cheshire, until local government reorganisation on 1 April 1974.
