The site was named in the 13th century charters (when the corn mill was recorded) as 'Juhelisforde', when the land was bequeathed to Torre Abbey. The name survived, in a corrupted form, until well into the 19th century, when Pudsham Down was still referred to as Giles Down; Giles a likely derivation of the earlier name Juhelis.
