The old mill tower is almost hidden by the tree. As most of the farm land to the south is a couple of metres below sea level and the village is just above above sea level early settlers must have considered this village to be on a hill and hence the name. The name Gedney is from the Old English gaeda+eg, or "island of Gaeda".
