Etymology

The hundred is named from the meeting-place at Bucklow Hill in Mere 51infra . The DB hundred of Bochelau included Northenden, Snelson and Great Warford now in Macclesfield hundred 1 234, 93, 104, but not that part of the modern Bucklow hundred west of Lymm, High Legh, Mere, Tabley Superior, Pickmere and Wincham.This area was Tunendun (e ) Hd '1086 DB, 'Tuna's hill', from the OE  pers.n. Tuna and dūn, the meeting-place of which is unidentified, cf. Halton Hundred infra . Since Tunendune is not recorded after DB, the two hundreds must have been merged soon after, perhaps in the twelfth century.
