Panel 5 was sponsored by Stella Maris School and informs us: Heaton Mersey The word Heaton is made up of two words of Anglo Saxon origin. "Hea" means high ground, which in this case is a shoulder of the Mersey Valley above the flood plain. The suffix "ton" means a defended settlement or farm. The name Mersey originates from an Old English word Maere which means boundary. The river was the boundary of the ancient Saxon kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria. Hence the name Heaton Mersey can be literally translated as the high farmstead beside the River Mersey.
