Golledge Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Gulledge, an estate near B. Grinstead, co. Sussex.
User-submitted Reference
There is a manor house situated in Welles, Somerset called Gollage Farm which dates back at least to the mid 1500s. The manor is built on a small hill and is adjacent to what was once the site of a major Roman road that ran through the South and West of England. The hill is called Gaul Lege, literally meaning "the camp (or edge) of the Gauls." The road is no longer there, but Gaul Lege is still reserved as a public thoroughfare, and is used as a bridle path today. Hence the surname Golledge and it's derivative's may have originated from the original name of the area, i.e. the camp (or edge) of the Gauls.
