BATTRAMSLEY, manor in Boldre, New Forest bailiwick
A most difficult name. A secondary place name, the 'leah'='wood/clearing' of a place apparently called hypothetical 'Betraham(m)'='better estate/hemmed-in land', for whose name there are no parallels and whose site is not known. Perhaps rather hypothetical 'Beorhthraefn's wood/clearing'; such a personal name is just possible but unrecorded.
