Early Origins of the Hartnell family

The surname Hartnell was first found in Hartnell where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century where they held a family seat at Hemycock and held Hartnell's Farm.
