Hanging Heaton is a village in West Yorkshire, England. Partly in both Batley and Dewsbury, it is an historic village mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name 'Etun'.[1] The prefix 'Hanging' refers to a steep hillside hanging above lower ground, while 'Heaton' means 'High Farm', meaning the village was once a hillside farmstead.[2]

With housing dating from the 16th century to the present day, it is a varied community with a successful cricket club,[3] golf club, two churches, a pub and a community group. Hanging Heaton is also home to both Hanging Heaton CE (VC) J & I School[4] and Mill Lane J I & EY School.[5]

Hanging Heaton was the birthplace of physiologist Robert Edwards, who was the pioneer of in vitro fertilisation (IVF).Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
