Coates 1989 ALLENFORD in Damerham, former submember of parish of Toyd Farm, once in Dorset Forms are too late for certainty. Uncertain whether it has anything to do with ELLINGHAM (and hence with ELING). Stands on the river 'Allen' a name type which is often pre-English, but no early spellings for the river name have come down to us and it may be a back formation from the farm name. |
