History

The name "Hindlip" means 'Hind leap'.[9] Hindlip was recorded in the Domesday Book as Hindelep.[10] Hindlip was "Hindehlep" in the 10th century, "Hundeslep" in the 12th century, "Hindelupe" in the 13h century and Henlipp in the 16th century.[11] On the 22nd of December 1886 Upper and Lower Smite Houses, a part of Warndon parish was transferred to the parish. The transferred area contained 5 houses in 1891. On the 1st of April 1952 18 acres were transferred to the parish from North Claines and 5 acres were transferred to Warndon.[12] The parish was historically in the Oswaldslow hundred.[13] Hindlip was possibly a deserted medieval village.[14]
