Etymology
Barfold Copse (6″) is Berefold 1484AddCh , Berfeld 1486Loseley , Barfeld t. Hy 8MinAcct , Barfold 1548LRMB . This place must be associated with Barfold Fm in Lurgashall (PN Sx 111), just across the county boundary. The one early form for that name (which the context shows to be somewhere in Lurgashall parish) is Burifold , from the Durfold Cartulary. As the four forms for the Surrey name, though of later date, yet all agree with one another and with the present-day form, it is perhaps best to assume the isolated spelling from the cartulary to be an error and to take the first element to be the OE bære, 'pasture in wooded districts,' etc., since the place is in the Weald, v. falod .
