==Toponymy==
In 1584 Henry Dingley, a verderer of Malvern Chase, wrote an account of a perambulation of the chase boundaries. Dingley noted that near the southernmost boundary of the chase grew "...a geate Oake caulled the white leved Oake () bereth white leaves."〔
In ''The forest and chace of Malvern, its ancient & present state: with notices of the most remarkable old trees remaining within its confines'' (1877) Edwin Lees wrote:
The "White-leaved Oak" valley between the Ragged-stone and Keysend-hills, keeps in its name the memory of an oak that existed there within memory, whose leaves being variegated with white blotches, caused it to be considered a curiosity and prodigy.〔
