Bathingbourne was the name of a manor in the ancient civil parish of Godshill. It was alternatively known as "Baddingbourne" and "Bangbourne" in the 16th century, but before that it was earlier known as Beaddingaburn, Baddingebourne, and Bathyngbourne. Bathingbourne was one of five manors granted by King Eadwig to members of his thegn, although a previous charter of King Edred also parcelled out this land, but Edred's charter divided the land along different boundaries. The Domesday Book in 1086 listed Bathingbourne in its records of English settlements.
