APPENDIX. THIS work was nearly all printed off before the appearance of a valuable "Treatise on the Local Nomenclature of the AngloSaxons, as exhibited in the Codex Diplomaticus ævi Saxonici;' translated from the German of Professor Heinrich Lèo, P.H. and LL.D., of Halle, with additional examples and explanatory notes," by B. Williams, Esq., F.S.A. Had that Treatise appeared earlier, I might have derived from it much important information, relative to some of the Saxon names in this work. A few notices, however, I must here introduce. Upper and Lower Areley (pp. 304, 307, 308, of this work). 66 Earneleáh, Anglo-Saxon, the Eagles' Lea. But see p. 308. Lower Areley is written Ernleye in Layamon's " Brut." Bromsgrove (pp. 115, 122). Brêmesgráf, from the Anglo-Saxon 'bróme," a plant, and " gráf," a grove. But the former derivation (at p. 122) appears to be the better, as the name is Bremesgréfa, or Bremesgræfa, meaning Bremes-grave. Beoley (p. 337). Beoleáh, Anglo-Saxon, the Lea of Bees. Buddenhill, and Buddenhill Common Field, in Castle Morton (pp. 71, 281). Dr. Leo, in his Treatise, speaks of places which were the scenes of those executions which assumed the form of human sacrifices amongst the Germans, and in which the criminal was immolated as an expiation to the gods; and in a note he says:-" In the Saxon part of the district of Hessiga in old Germany, a plot of ground, the scene of such barbarous executions (burial alive, with a stake through the heart) was named a Buddenfeld. - Vita Lingeri, ap. Pertz, ii., 419." Crowle (p. 294). "croh" (crocus). Crohlea may come from the Anglo-Saxon Deerhurst (pp. 187, 188, 189). Deor-hyrst, the Bush of Stags. Evesham (p. 336), in Anglo-Saxon, Cronuchomme, the Ham of Cranes. Great Gog Bridge and Little Gog Bridge, in Castle Morton (p. 281). Dr. Lèo says the names of fierce, fabulous creatures are coupled with wild, dismal places, as Grímesdic (grima, maleficus), Enta dic, and Enta hléw; the Giant's Dike and Mound, Goggislond, and Gugedike. Old Swinford (p. 273). Lincomb (pp. 112, 113). a stream or trough. Lindridge (p. 266). Swynford, the Ford of Swine. Anglo-Saxon "lin," flax, and "cumb," From the Anglo-Saxon, Lindhrycg, the Ridge of Lime Trees, where was pasturage for swine and goats. Pendock (pp. 218, 219). In a note to Dr. Leo's Treatise it is said, Pendock might be Anglo-Saxon; "pëónd," "pund," signifies a place enclosed or fenced in; " pyndan" is the German" beunten," to fence in; " peónedoc" may stand for "peónedhóc" [or "peóned-hook"], and originally signify angulum agri septi [the corner of a hedged field]. But see the derivation in p. 218 of this work. Rid Marley (p. 218). Reódeméreleáh. the Lea by the Mere (or boundary) of Reeds. But see the derivation, p. 218. Rushock (p. 271). Anglo-Saxon, Rixuc, (?) Risc-hóc; the Rushhook, or corner of a field where the rush-weed abounded. Sedgebarrow, or Sedgeberrow (pp. 85, 335). From the AngloSaxon, Secgesbearuwe, the Barrow of Sedge Grass. Tickenhill (p. 146). From the Anglo-Saxon, Ticen-hyl, the Kid's-hill.
