Coates 1989 SLUFTER'S INCLOSURE in Minstead No early spellings discovered. I guess that it derives from an earlier place name amounting to 'bog', ultimately from hypothetical Old English 'slohtre' for which there are parallels in continental Germanic languages. A stream flows through the plantation. Possibly, though a little less likely, from 'sloe tree'. |
