Before discussing further the medieval origins and development of Alwinton village, it is necessary to describe the various different territorial units within which it was incorporated, and which provided the framework for the development of the community. Each of these related to different aspects of the settlement's communal relations, both internal and external. This is important not only in providing an understanding of the territorial framework which the population of Alwinton inhabited, but also because it may provide clues to the early medieval history of the locality.
