==Etymology==
The name is first recorded in 1680 and is believed to be taken from a local inn named ''The Nun's Head''. It is rumoured that this name refers to the beheading of a nun during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. However, there is no evidence to support this claim.〔Mills, Anthony David (2001).
