I'm not convinced. There is a big old house in Whitestone Lane called
Whitestone House, and it's built of white stone. I suspect the house is the
origin of the name, which spread to the lane and thence to the pond.

That Regency house has had several names, it was called Heath House
and then The Lawn before it became Whitestone House.
