Etymology


North Street is first recorded in 1347 as 'North st.' . Later spellings are 'Northstreete' in 1521 and 'Northstrete' in 1568. The name derives from Old English 'strǽt' meaning a settlement focussed around a road or lane. Ropley is home to a number of these streets see Church Street, Gilbert Street and South Street. The 'north' element refers to its placement north of Ropley.


History


North Street is one of the few areas of Ropley where Romano-British settlement is known. It is unclear what sort of settlement but metal detecting groups have uncovered a large amount of Roman finds, including; pottery, coins, brooches and masonry both to the Northeast and west of the hamlet. There is also a Romano-British enclosure recorded here.[1]
