TITCHFIELD
Old English 'open land associated with (hypothetical) Ticcea', a man's name derived from the Old English 'ticcen'='kid'. Otherwise, if an alternation of forms found in an early 10th century boundary clause for Ampfield is to be taken seriously 'ticcenesfelda/ticcefeldes' the present name may actually be hypothetical 'Ticcefeld'='kids' open land', a two stem nominal compound involving the hypothetical noun 'ticce'. (Cf TICHBORNE, TISTED.) But in an important note, Finberg (1964a: 58) observes that the place in whose bounds 'ticcanfelde' occurs is stated to be in the Isle of Wight. If we remove this form from the list above, the spread of spellings becomes consistent.

a village in Hampshire, on the river Aire, 3m W Fareham. It had formerly an abbey; and on its site are the remains of a mansion where Charles I was concealed in his flight from Hampton court, in 1647.
