===Origin of the name=== The origin of the name "Notting Hill" is uncertain<ref>{{cite news | title=Notting Hill: Mandelson in good company | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/240416.stm | publisher=BBC News | date=22 December 1998 | access-date=17 February 2009 }}</ref> though an early version appears in the [[Patent Rolls]] of 1356 as Knottynghull,<ref>{{cite web | title=Kensington and Chelsea | url=https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/314954/Kensington-and-Chelsea | access-date=17 February 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Kensington | url=http://www.worley.org.uk/NOTTING%20DALE.htm | access-date=17 February 2009 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907093625/http://worley.org.uk/NOTTING%20DALE.htm | archive-date=7 September 2008 | url-status=usurped }}</ref> while an 1878 text, Old and New London, reports that the name derives from a manor in Kensington called "Knotting-Bernes", "Knutting-Barnes", or "Nutting-barns",<ref name="L1" /> and goes on to quote from a court record during [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]]'s reign that "the manor called Notingbarons, alias Kensington, in the parish of Paddington, was held of the Abbot of Westminster." For years, it was thought to be a link with Canute, but it is now thought likely that the "Nott" section of the name is derived from the [[Old English language|Saxon]] personal name Cnotta,<ref>{{Cite news | title=Inside Notting Hill |work=The Times | first=Sarah | last=Anderson | url=http://travel.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/travel/holiday_type/travel_and_literature/article1967240.ece | date=21 June 2007 | access-date=17 February 2009 | location=London}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> with the "ing" part generally accepted as coming from the Saxon for a group or settlement of people.<ref>{{cite web | title=-ing | url=http://www.glaucus.org.uk/-ing.htm | access-date=17 February 2009 }}</ref>
