MALSHANGER, house in Oakley
The first element appears to be a Middle English surname of Anglo Norman origin; the second is from Old English 'hangra'='sloping wood'. The site is that of the Domesday Book manor 'Gerlei' (1167 'Gerdelai' 1272 'Yerdeley' Old English 'Gierdaleah'='wood where yards or spars were got').
