Totmonslow Totmonslow is a hundred in the county of Staffordshire, England. The hundred is located in the north-east of Staffordshire, named after the hamlet of the same name, which is ½ mile east of Draycott in the Moors. The hamlet was anciently the seat of the hundred court.〔History, Gazetteer and Directory of Staffordshire by William White (1834), page 744〕 ==Derivation of names== The name of the place derives from Old English ''Tatmonn'', a personal name and ''hlaw'' meaning 'hill' or 'mound'. Other examples of this personal name are recorded from the 10th century onwards (e.g. Roberto ''Tateman'' 1190–200).〔The English Hundred Names, by Olof Anderson, Lund (Sweden), 1934. Page 147〕 A large number of Hundred names refer to hills or mounds. Some of these at least are very conspicuous hills, which afford a commanding view of the countryside for miles around. It seems likely that such sites were chosen as being remote, and where interference was most easily avoided.〔The English Hundred Names, by Olof Anderson, Lund (Sweden), 1934. Page xxxiii〕
