Etymology

William Mucklow bought the manor of Dauncies in 1515 (VCH iii. 555) and his name is preserved here. Interchange of t and k is common, cf. Nackington (K) earlier Natindun . The Mucklow family took their name from Mucklow in Halesowen infra 297. The name is preserved in Kelly's Directory for 1892, but is not on the map.
