Etymology
Blizewood (6″) is woodland called Blithes 1605Ct , and is to be associated with the family of Elias de Blythe (1332 SR). Cf. also Blitheshook near by (1605Ct ). v. hoc . As one is on the top of the downs here, there can be no question of a river Blyth, and the name must be manorial rather than local in origin. For the modern form cf. Blisworth (PN Nth 143) and Size Lane (London), earlier (St ) Osithes Lane .
