Etymology
editThe name of the village is first attested in theDomesday Bookof 1086, where it appears in the spellingHeorteshorne.This comes from theOld Englishwordheorot('hart,adult malered deer') in thegenitive case,compounded with the wordhorn('horn'), and once meant 'hart'santler'. It appears that the name originally denoted not the village itself but the neighbouring hill to the south-east of the village, now calledHorn Hill,which was thought to resemble a stag's antler.[2]
History
editHartshorne was mentioned in theDomesday bookas belonging toHenry de Ferrers[3]and being worth ten shillings.[4]It passed to the Ireland family in the 14th century, and subsequently to the family of theFoljambe baronets.
The Rector of Hartshorne, William Dethick, founded a free school for local children in 1626.
In 1800, the owner of the Manor, William Bailey Cant, left it to the lawyerThomas Erskine,in recognition of his role in the case ofJohn Horne Tooke.[5]

"he Chesterfield Arms was demolished in September 2009. The Snooty Fox (formerly the Dominoes) was demolished in 2009. The New Inn closed in the 1960s and was then used as a hairdressing salon before being demolished in 1975 to make a car park extension for the Admiral Rodney.
The Old Manor House in the northern part of the village is a Grade II* listed 17th-century timbered building on Main Street.[6]It was built for one John Benskin in 1629 according to parish rate records.[7]Situated south west of St Peter's Church in the southern part of the village, it is distinct from The Manor House (also known as the Old Hall) in the northern part of the village.[8][9]
