It stands on a marked promontory of high ground between two river valleys. The village appears in the Domesday Book as Odeston, meaning either "Odd's farm or village", or "settlement on the protruding piece of land", oddr being the Old Norse for "point".[1] Many local towns and villages share a similar Scandinavian heritage.
