Etymology
Tingley Wood is Tinele 13thWymondley , Tingley Wood 1818EnclA . This is a difficult name, for the forms are scanty and late.It is just possible that the first element is OE tȳned , 'enclosed,' hence 'fenced clearing.' Cf. Tinely (PN NbDu 197), earlier Tynedley (1268 Ipm), which may have this history rather than the one suggested in PN NbDu s. n .
