History
Etymology
The name "Peaton" derives from "Peatta's farm".[2]
Buildings
Immediately West of Peaton, 460m on the other side of the Pye Brook,[3] is the site of the large extinct village of Corfham and the remaining foundations of Corfham Castle, a mid-12th century motte and bailey fortress.[4] Corfham and the land that would become Peaton were within the hundred of Culvestan in 1086 according to the Domesday Book.[5]
Peaton Hall is a Grade II Listed building dating from the 16th or 17th century.[6] Also Listed are 18th-century garden walls adjacent to the hall[7] and 2 barns approximately 100 metres away.[8] Brook Cottage is a 17th-century house, also Grade II Listed, in the hamlet.[9] At Peatonstrand is New House Farmhouse, a Grade II 17th-century farmhouse.[10]
There was a Primitive Methodist chapel at Peatonstrand from 1873 to 1984.[2]
During World War II some farm buildings in Peaton were transformed into a factory, producing fuel tanks for Stirling bombers. A sentry building was erected at the entrance to the site, still there but derelict.[2]
There are 6 weather-boarded houses at Peaton (called "Timber Cottages") and 4 at Peatonstrand, built in the 1950s by the Church Commissioners (who bought the Holder Estate in 1942). There are also 4 in Bouldon.[2]
