APPLESHAW
Old English/Middle English 'apple wood or strip of woodland'. Probably with reference to crab apples, for 'sceaga/schawe' does not mean an orchard or any managed wood. The element is not common in the SCy.

description
Appleshaw
The place is described in text Cobbett 1830

Period - 19th century, early
refce: Cobbett 1830
... the great fair at Weyhill, which began yesterday [Tuesday 10 October], and, indeed, the day before, at APPLESHAW. These two days are allotted for the selling of sheep only, though the horse-fair begins on the 10th. To Appleshaw they bring nothing but those fine curled-horned and long-tailed ewes, which bring the house-lambs and the early Easter-lambs; and these, which, to my taste, are the finest and most beautiful animals of the sheep kind, come exclusively out of Dorsetshire and out the part of Somersetshire bordering on that county.
