Tinallinge
Tinallinge is a small village in the municipality of Het Hogeland, in the province of Groningen. It is located just southeast of Baflo.
Etymology
The oldest mention of the village dates from the tenth century when it was called Ingaldinghem. In the eleventh century, this changed to Ingaldingon. Ingaldinghem means "residence of the people of the person Ingald" and Ingaldingon is a derivation with the suffix -ing- in dative plural with the meaning "among the people of Ingald". The eventual T- comes from the preposition to, such as in toponyms as Tolbert and Taarlo. The current name was first mentioned in 1575.History
Tinallinge originated on a wierde, a residential mound, which probably originated around 500 BC and has an area of 6 hectares. The wierde has a height of 3.7 metres. Most of the wierde is undeveloped. The old road around the wierde is still partly intact. After the beginning of the 20th century, hardly any more construction took place. In 2003, the wierde was declared an archaeological monument.There is a church on the wierde, around which the buildings have been built. Opposite the church is the former Protestant village school from the 19th century, which is now used as a village hall. Next to it is the former schoolmaster's house. Next to the church is the parsonage, which was rebuilt in the early 21st century in the old style. North of the church is a herb garden with orchard.
Municipally, the village belonged to the municipality of Baflo until 1990 and then to the municipality of Winsum until 2019.
