Etymology
'The hamstede on the hill,' v. dun . The hill is only a slight slope. The field called Great Charsleys in the Survey of 1650 is probably the same piece of land that is referred to as cyranleage in the bounds of Dunhampstead in Himbleton (BCS 349). The Winsty Meadow of the same document must be the same as the wynna stigele in the bounds of Himbleton in Heming (356).
