A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

(A-Sax. apl and treow). Our Saxon forefathers named many localities-which have since given rise to surnames-from trees. Appledore, Kent, Appledore, Devon; Appledram, Sussex, and other places are well-known to have derived their designations thus. The Saxon Chronicle describes the battle of Hastings as having taken place at thaere haran apuldran, "at the hoary apple-tree," probably from same venerable tree of that species growing near at hand. Contrib. to Lit. 71. The "hoar apple tree" was a common landmark in Saxon times. Mr. Hamper has collected no less than 14 instances in different counties. Archaeologia XXV, 35.
