Alkborough, with the hamlet of Walcot about south, forms a civil parish which covers about . The village was once thought to be the location that the Romans called ''Aquis'', but that name is now usually associated with the town of Buxton in Derbyshire (''Aquis Arnemetiae'').〔W.Stukeley, ''Itinerarium Curiosum; Or, An Account of the Antiquities, and Remarkable Curiosities in Nature Or Art, Observed in Travels Through Great Britain'' (1776),p.96; W. Page, ''The Victoria history of the county of Derby'', vol. 1 (1905), p.227〕
==History==
Alkborough is listed as "Alchebarge" in the ''Domesday Book''. Eminson translates this as "the ridge-like cliff above the mooring pool of the river". The village's name goes through various spellings such as Alchebarue, Hautebarg, Alke Bere and Awkeburgh. Mills translates the village's name as "wood or grave of a man called Alca".
Professor Cameron thought the name Alkborough meant 'Al(u)ca's hill' from an Old English personal name, and he derived Walcot from "the cottage, hut or shelter of the Welshman". He suggested that the name might represent an isolated group of Welshmen, identifiable as such in Anglo-Saxon England.
