Nash Lee

Nash Lee is a hamlet in the parish of Ellesborough, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located to the north of the village, about two miles west of Wendover.

The hamlet name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'clearing among the ash trees'. It was referred to in 12th century manorial records as Escelee.

Today little remains of Nash Lee apart from a farm and some houses. The feel of the hamlet was altered greatly in the construction of the nearby Wendover Bypass and the rerouting of adjacent roads to accommodate the new construction. All that marks Nash Lee today is the road name Nash Lee Lane.

Famous quotes containing the words nash and/or lee:

    Whether elected or appointed
    He considers himself the Lord’s annointed,
    And indeed the ointment lingers on him
    So thick you can’t get your fingers on him.
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    This is no Sir Galahad who lives from afar. This is a two- legged boa constrictor.
    —John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
