History

Balderton's name may have been taken from Balder or Baldur, the Norse god of innocence, beauty, joy, purity and peace. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book and is believed to be of Anglo-Saxon origin, as evidenced by the -ton suffix which is late Anglo-Saxon.

The Domesday Book lists the village as Baldretune and it's described as a dependent hamlet of Newark. The Bussney's were the lords of Balderton and lived in the area during the time of William the Conqueror and held the land until the reign of Elizabeth I. Balderton then passed to the Meers and Lascels and by the 1840s was owned largely by the Duke of Newcastle.
