Pype Hall is Pipa c. 1290 AD vi, Pype 1313BirmDeed , Pipe 1316 FA, 1322 Ipm, 1327 SR, 1348FF , Pype orchard 1474BirmDeed , Pype Hall 1546 LP, Pype al. Pypehall 1570Recov , Pipe al. Pipehalle commonly called Pipe Orcharde 1613BirmDeed .This name, like Pipe (St), was probably applied to a stream or watercourse, possibly artificial, but the making of the railway has disorganised the natural drainage and it is no longer possible to follow the course of the stream here. Cf. in pipan (BCS 204)(Wo) and Pipp Brook (PN Sr 5).
