Tolcis Farm was mentioned as 'Tolresheghes' in 1346 & 'Tolshaies' in 1606. The first element is a surname such as 'Toller'.
Wilkin, W. H., 1936, Axminster notes, 360-5 (Article in Serial). SDV111336.
Tolcis, formerly Tolshays or Tollershays (with variants), was acquired from Newenham Abbey by the abbot Walter de la Houe, with Yetlands in about 1345. After the dissolution, Tolshays was a leasehold farm held under the tithing of Westwater within the manor of Axminster. Both Tolshays and Yetlands formed part of the Petre Estates.
