==History== thumb|left|Pasture near Oat Eddish Farm A denarius, a silver Roman coin, was found in the parish, but there is no other evidence of Roman occupation. There might have been a Saxon farmstead in the area of Oat Eddish farm, whose name derives from Old English and means "enclosed land where oats are grown". Walgherton appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Walcretune" and was held by William Malbank.
