History
[edit | edit source]The first recorded mention of Erringden is in a deed from 1321, where it is named Heyrikdene,[1] and it is described as a park for hunting.
Plans of an estate in Erringden produced in 1761 are the first known work by the land surveyor and engineer Robert Whitworth, who went on to become one of the leading canal engineers of his generation.[2]
