Nanpantan
« on: Friday 09 September 16 17:03 BST (UK) »
A thread elsewhere was concerned with the village of Nanpantan in Leicestershire.  Fascinating oriental sounding name - does anyone know from what/who it is derived?
I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

Got it thanks, Scouseboy has kindly sent me a link to Nanpantan Hall that explains the derivation.

I knew Miss Jean Paget who owned the hall until her death some years ago. I was for years a chorister/ married at St. Marys in Nanpantan church which was once the chapel to the hall.

My g/grandad was a gardener there, he came from Banbury with his wife. I read that it was also spelled Nanpanton but they had a bit of a meeting to decide which to use and went with Nanpantan, somewhere around the 1920's if I remember right, which I can't guarantee.

I grew up in Coalville, family legend always joked that "Nan panted on" ancesters came from Shepshed, Hathern, Sileby areas. Truth or fiction?  carolmc
