MAPLEDURHAM, Domesday Book manor in Buriton
Hypothetical Old English 'Mapuldorham'='maple tree estate'. Maple is widespread but not common in unmixed woods (Rackham 1980: 207), and prefers clay soils (cf MAPLEHAM and MAPLEDURWELL) though Rackham says it is 'unusually and significantly abundant in the coppices of those few forests that are on calcareous soils'. Buriton is on the chalk. It is 'near its climatic limit' in present day England. Its botanical record in ancient times is very thin, despite often occurring in the charter and place name record. This place name recurs in O.
