SOPLEY
Hypothetical Old English 'Soppanleah'='Soppa's wood/clearing'. This man's
name has been inferred from other place names. Legitimate to wonder if an
hypothetical Old English 'soppa'='milksop' existed; only 'sopp' is recorded, but
there are continental Germanic parallels for a hypothetical 'soppa'. If so, this
is 'sop wood' in a topographical sense; the village centre is by a marsh in the
Avon valley.
