Etymology

The history of the name 'Hatt' is believed to originate in a tale, in which an unnamed cardinal was on a visit to Truro. After stopping at a local tavern, he went on his way but had lost his mitre. A local found it, exclaiming "The Cardinal's Hat!" before running it down to Truro. As a reward, the cardinal provided funding for the establishment of a parish and village.[ citation needed ]

Local tradition

The annual "Big Lunch" celebration has become a recent tradition within the village, along with the neighbouring village of Botusfleming. Communal meals are held in the streets and the Recreational Field is opened up for games and sporting events. Normally, there is a charitable drive as well with any money raised given to charity.
