On 1833 OS Smith Moor occurs twice , applied to groups of houses nearly a mile apart at the N . and S . ends of a long , narrow marsh on the boundary of Bletchley and Longford townships . On TAMap this strip is divided into rectangular enclosures , many called Smithymoor , some called Inclosures , Allotments and Crofts . The name may be identical with Smedmore PN Do 1 86 and Smithy Moor in Cockshut supra , which are considered to be ' smoothmarsh ' , from smēðe . However, TAMap has a field called Lower Yard and Smithy at the N . end of the marsh , and a Smithy Green nearby , so in this instance the meaning may be ' marsh near a smithy ' .
