The place name literally means "estate associated with a man called Eadwulf," from the Old English personal name + "ing" + "tun."

By 1288, Hugh de Adlington and Adam de Duxbury each held a moiety of the manor of William de Ferrers. Adlington Hall was a grand Georgian country house but was demolished in the 1960s.
