LINKENHOLT
Hypothetical Old English 'Hlincanholt'. This seems to mean 'managed woodland on a terrace or bank'. Domesday Book explicitly mentions that the manor has woodland for fencing (silua ad clausuram). There are some strange Tudor period instances of assimilation of 'l' to 'n' (eg 1579, 1593 Nyncknoll, Ninckenholt) reminiscent of early medieval French renderings of the name of 'Lincoln'.
Grundy demonstrated (1927: 281-3) that Linkenholt was probably included in that called 'AEscmere' in a document of 866-867.
