Toponymy
The name probably derives from the Alborgh or Albourgh family who occupied the manor in the Middle Ages and are mentioned in 14th and 15th century records. "Hatch" derives from the Old English word hæcc ("hatch gate" or accessdate"wicket gate"), which originally gave access to Hainault Forest when it stood here.[3]
