Summary
The name Herton is first documented in the 14th century. Cartographic evidence indicates that the ranges of buildings on both sides of the road formed part of Herton. Old Farm Court appears to be a modern name perhaps adopted when the buildings on the east side of the road were converted to dwellings.
