LIPHOOK, hamlet of Bramshott, now village
Gover suggests on the basis of personal names found in the manorial rolls of Chiltlee that the place had, in the 14th century, the alternative names 'Lepe' and 'Lepehoc'='the leap' and 'spur at the leap'. If this is right, the 'leap' would have been over the headwater of the Wey at or near where the modern A3 crosses it; he takes the 'leap' to have been a stream crossing. Ekwall suggests the same elements but translates 'deer leap enclosure', citing Middle English 'inhoc'='enclosure'. The detailed interpretation is thus still uncertain.
