What's in a Name Bennington One N Please A Rural Parish
A detailed note on the origin of Bennington's name from Benington in Hertfordshire, tracing medieval manor ownership, church history, and local restoration efforts. The piece links Bennington to Benning Wentworth and documents 12th to 18th century landholders, the 13th century church, and a 1945 appeal for funds to restore the chapel and halls. It also mentions a 1945 Banner ad about a Soviet Allies talk.
