==History and etymology==
Aldoth's name comes from the Old English ''eald hlada'', meaning "old barn". In the past, variant spellings have included Ialdlathyt, Aldath, Aldeth, and Aldelathe.
Aldoth was mentioned in a survey conducted in the year 1538, during the reign of Henry VIII. Then known as Aldeth, the survey recorded that there were at least ten families living in the community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/hstchg/1538.rtf )〕
In 1851, a school was built in Aldoth, paid for by the National Organisation for Education of the Poor. There were as many as 55 pupils enrolled in the school at its height, though numbers were known to drop rather dramatically around harvest time and during bad weather. School inspectors noted several issues with the school, such as the lack of nearby accommodation for a teacher, insufficient space for the number of pupils, and animals ''"which invade the cloak-rooms and attack the food stored for midday use"''. Despite eventually being connected to water mains, the school continued to make use of earth toilets. There was a high turnover of teachers in the early 20th century, but by 1929 the school had more stability when Mr Carr arrived. He remained the teacher until Aldoth school closed in 1957.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/hstchg/aldoth.htm )〕
