Mariot Chase

I've just read Anne Heazlewood's book, "The Marlows and their Maker". I noticed she calls the Merricks' place Mariot Chase, but I don't recall it ever being called by this (or any) name in the books: I only remember it being referred to as the Merricks' or Patrick's place. Anyone know where it's referred to as Mariot Chase?

I don't have the books with me, but I'm sure that the Merrick place is called Mariot Chase in at least one book - The Thuggery Affair as far as I remember. The use of "Chase" was presumably intended to indicate ancient hunting on Merrick land.
