Benstoken Coppice
Early-attested site in the Parish of Leigh
Etymology
In Ancient Deeds (vol. ii) we have mention in 1338 and c. 1275 of Denestocking and Menestocking (Menstocking in AOMB 61), 'clearing in the valley' and 'clearing held in common,' cf. Menithwood supra 58. There is also a la Fenstocking (c. 1270) in AOMB 61. Possibly this name is a corruption of one of these.
