    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. JILLIAN PATRICIA HAWKINS Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2011 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The significance of the place-name element *funta in the early middle ages. Jillian Patricia Hawkins The Old English place-name element *funta derives from Late Latin fontāna, “spring”, and is found today in 21 place-names in England. It is one of a small group of such Latin-derived elements, which testify to a strand of linguistic continuity between Roman Britain and early Anglo- Saxon England. *funta has never previously been the subject of this type of detailed study. The continued use of the element indicates that it had a special significance in the interaction, during the fifth and sixth centuries, between speakers of British Latin and speakers of Old English, and this study sets out to assess this significance by examining the composition of each name and the area around each *funta site. Any combined element is always Old English. The distribution of the element is in the central part of the south- east lowland region of England. It does not occur in East Anglia, East Kent, west of Warwickshire or mid-Wiltshire or north of Peterborough. Seven of the places whose names contain the element occur singly, the remaining fourteen appearing to lie in groups. The areas where *funta names occur may also have other pre-English names close by.

The 2011 Census recorded the Parish population as 2,336. The Parish comprises two distinct settlements of Barby and Onley, together with an extensive site of three prisons at Onley, with a number of isolated dwellings. The prison complex comprises HMP Onley, HMP Ryehill and Rainsbrook STC (Secure Training Centre). 1.2 The two settlements are 1.68 miles (2.7km) apart as the crow flies, however, to travel from Barby to Onley along the road it is a distance of 3.6 miles (5.9km). 1.3 The village of Onley lies to the west of the Parish, beyond the Oxford canal. Once a deserted medieval village, Onley is now home to a large prison complex.

  • THE HEREWARD WAY a Walking Route Across the Fens Oakham to Thetford Also Part of European Route E2 Ely to Oakham
    THE HEREWARD WAY a walking route across the Fens Oakham to Thetford also part of European Route E2 Ely to Oakham The Hereward Way starts in the rolling landscape of Rutland, amid grass fields and stone villages. It passes Rutland Water, a new and large addition to our water resources. It continues to Stamford, and then Peterborough, through an increasingly level landscape - part of the River Nene basin. The route to March, Ely and beyond, is through the flat fen country, to strangers uninteresting, but to those who spend a day walking the paths, it is an area of peaceful beauty and hidden surprises. To the east of Ely, the character of the walk changes again as it enters the Brecklands of Norfolk, now mostly developed as forestry. The Hereward Way is based around the East Anglian rail/bus network with convenient stations or buses at regular intervals of about 16kms. This route is dedicated to two indomitable fenmen John and John ------------ooooooo0ooooooo------------ Acknowledgements The development of the Hereward Way would not have been possible without a great deal of help from a large number of people, and my grateful thanks are extended as follows. To those walkers in the surrounding region who have expressed an interest in, and walked, parts of the original route. To Dr & Mrs Moreton, Henry Bridge and John Andrews, for particular encouragement at the conception. To the local Groups of the Ramblers' Association in Thetford, Cambridge, Peterborough, Stamford and Northampton; and the Footpath Officers and other officers of the County and District Councils, who provided additional information and support.
