Harlington lies in the parish of Barnburgh and is of 'Anglo-Saxon' origin. Its name could derive from the land owner 'Walter De Harlington' or from Anglo-Saxon terms. 'ton' means fenced abode, whilst 'ling' means a pasture and 'Har' meant either a contraction of either the name of the pasture or the land owner.
Although there is little recorded history of Harlington, Manor Farm does offer something of intrigue. Known as 'The Manor Farm' there is nothing to say how long it has been established. It may have been set up to deal with the 'Manor Lands' in the Harlington district. On the other hand there have been two lords of the Manor throughout the history of the Parish of Barnburgh and Manor Farm may have been the property of the other Lord of the Manor.
