Etymology
Bittlesham (6″) is Betilsham in 1541 (Bailiffs Accts ). Possibly it should be connected with the unidentified Betlesparrioc (Dugd iii. 247) of a charter of Henry I where it is associated with the not very distant Buckfold in Petworth. These all point to a pers. name Bētel found also in Betteshanger (K), Betleshangre 1284 Ch.
