TUFTON
Hypothetical Old English either 'Tuccantun' or more likely 'Tuccingtun'='Tucca's farm' (cf TUCKTON). The development to 'f' presupposes a change of [k] to [x], but no such thing shows up in the record. The 'f' is seen first in 1580 'Tufton'. It is of great interest that the Dark Age trackway from Winchester to Whitchurch, Litchfield and the Kennet Valley was 901 (14th century transcript) 'tuccinge weg' about 1250 'Tokingweie' apparently containing the same personal name. It passes within half a mile of Tufton.
