Etymology
Bussey Stool Fm (ST 927148), Bussey Stool Park & Bussey Stool Wds, Bussey's Down, Burcyes 1432 Cl, manerium de Burces 1558PlR , Burses Stolle (Coppice )1590LRMB , Burcistoole walk 17CecilMap , Bursie house , Bursie Downe , Burs (e )y cops , Burs (e )y Walke 1618Map , Bursey Stool (e ) Walk 1620, 1869 Hutch3, Bursies 1659Salkeld , Burseyes 1674ib , Bushey Stool Fm , Bushy Down 1811 OS, Pusseys Down 1829EnclA , Bussey Stool Ho , Busseys Down 1839TA , Busseystool walk 1869 Hutch3, named from the family of Roger Burcy 1327SR , 1332 SR, John Busse 1664 HTax, v. walk (this was one of the 'walks' of Cranborne Chase supra ), dūn . Stool is apparently from stōl 'stool, seat; tree-stump, etc'; the precise significance is not clear, but on the possible analogy of the nearby Sedge Oak Coppice in Ashmore par. supra , perhaps 'commode, privy' (from 1501 NED). However Dr Gelling points out that stōl may have been used of 'a flat-topped hill', the possible sense of this el. in Stoulton Wo.
