Coates 1989 MARCHWOOD Hypothetical Old English 'merecewudu'='smallage (wild celery) wood' seems more likely than hypothetical 'Mierc(e)a wudu'='wood of Mercians'; but note the problem concerning the not far distant parish of FAWLEY. Smallage prefers wet ditches, usually near the sea; Marchwood is appropriately placed. |
