Harrowden is a one-street hamlet in the English county of Bedfordshire. Harrowden is mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 when it appears as “Herghetone” or “Hergentone”. This comes from the Anglo-Saxon. “hearg-dun”: “hearg” means a place of heathen worship with some form of sacred grove or shrine, while “dun” refers to the slight rise in the ground here. At the 2011 Census the population was included in the civil parish of Eastcotts.
