The villages name means 'valley ford'.[3] The village stands on the river Nene. It is in this area that the pronunciation of its name changes: upstream, to the south, it pronounced nen, while downstream to the north it is neen.
Denford is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The manor of Denford was held by the Bishop of Coutances, and later by the de Clare family before settling by 1262 in the ownership of the Earls of Gloucester. They let the Denford estates to a series of families, including the Chamberlains and the Reades.[4]
