History[edit]
The name "Haydon" probably means 'Hay-down' though the 1st part may be "hedge-enclosure".[7] The village is one of the possible sources of the surname Haydon.[8] On 25 March 1886 part of Haydon parish were transferred to the parish of Holnest. The transferred area contained 2 houses in 1891.[9]
