Place Name
The road leading to Acton Green. The name Acton (from the Old English Actun) was first found in documents of the late 12thCentury and means an enclosure or farm surrounded by oaks or possibly a farm or yard where oak timber was worked. Acorns have the same root in Old English. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was merely an anonymous part of the Manor of Fulham.
