Etymology
This suspicious-looking name is given in Dugdale iii. 276 as the original name of Beaulieu Priory in the abstract in the St Albans Register of a document datable as before 1146. In this it occurs several times: the other place-names in the document are fairly good, except Rinethella for Amethella .
