Eggbuckland
While once a small village a mile from Plymouth, Eggbuckland is now a part of the city.
Bocheland is of Saxon origin and means "Royal land held by charter". The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded that this manor was held by the King, William of Normandy, but was granted to the Saxon Heche or Ecca, thus the land was known as Heche or Ecca's Bocheland. Overtime this has been corrupted and by 1685 was Egg Buckland and by 1902, Eggbuckland. The village was held by the Royalist Caviliers during the Civil War 1642 to 1646 against the Parliamentarian Roundheads and was badly damaged.
