SCARNING-TUN. The Village itself is supposed to be of Scandiavian origin, but the name of the founder whose 'ton', or farmstead it was is, as yet uncertain. It has been suggested that the name derives from the Anglo-Saxon 'Scearing-tun' which would denote a dirty farm. Alternatively a more agreeable theory is that'Scarrington' preserves the personal name of a founder otherwise unknown. Perhaps a grubby chap himself! Over the years it has had a variety of spellings including Skerynton, Scherington, and Scarington.
