Clapton used to be called Clopton
CLAPTON, so spelt in 1593, was from 1339 until the 18th century normally rendered as Clopton, the ‘farm on the hill’. The Old English clop, ‘lump’ or ‘hill’, presumably denoted the high ground which rises from the Lea. Later to cover the north-eastern quarter of the parish, Clapton grew up along the way which in 1745 was called Hackney Lane, part of which ran through the waste of Broad (later Clapton) common. In the 19th century building spread to meet streets east of the high road and north of Homerton.
The area treated below includes Hackney Downs and, towards the Lea, the terraces north of Clifden Road. Manorial courts from c. 1800 distinguished the parts north and south of Lea Bridge Road as Upper and Lower Clapton, and those names soon passed into general use. Hackney Lane came to be known as Lower and Upper Clapton roads, until in the late 19th century the stretch through the common to Stamford Hill was named Clapton Common.
