Pagham, Bognor Regis, Sussex, where once was a place named Loxley.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-11-23. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.
This lost place-name in Pagham parish could be derived from 'Loxa', the name of a stream, but more likely it is from OE lox, 'lynx,' "used here in the form Loxa as a pers. name, hence 'Loxa's clearing' [...] but no certainty is possible." It is recorded as 'Loxelegh', 'Loxelee', and 'Loxeleye' in 1316, 1344 and 1359, respectively.[1] As this was apparently lost in the 14th century, it seems distinctly unlikely to be the Loxley associated with Robin Hood c. 1600.
