About  Andover   

Andover began as a Saxon village but its name comes from 2 Celtic words, An meaning spring and dwr meaning water. Andover first appears in history in 950 AD when the king built a royal hunting lodge there. In the year 962 another king called a meeting of the Saxon 'parliament' the Witanegemot, at his lodge in Andover. Andover had its own church and it was here that a Viking called Olaf Trygvason was confirmed as a Christian. He later became king of Norway and helped to convert his country to Christianity.
