Lincolnshire and the Danes !/ IS' LINCOLNSHIRE AND THE DANES LINCOLNSHIRE AND THE DANES BY THE REV. G. S. STREATFEILD, M.A. VICAR OF STREATHAM COMMON; LATE VICAR OF HOLY TRINITY, LOUTH, LINCOLNSHIRE " in dust." Language adheres to the soil, when the lips which spake are resolved Sir F. Pai.grave LONDON KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH & CO., r, PATERNOSTER SQUARE 1884 {The rights of translation and of reproduction arc reserved.) TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS ALEXANDRA, PRINCESS OF WALES, THIS BOOK IS INSCRIBED BY HER LOYAL AND GRATEFUL SERVANT THE AUTHOR. A thousand years have nursed the changeful mood Of England's race,—so long have good and ill Fought the grim battle, as they fight it still,— Since from the North, —a daring brotherhood,— They swarmed, and knew not, when, mid fire and blood, made their or took their fill They —English homes, Of English spoil, they rudely wrought His will Who sits for aye above the water-flood. Death's grip is on the restless arm that clove Our land in twain no the ; more Raven's flight Darkens our sky ; and now the gentle Dove Speeds o'er the wave, to nestle in the might Of English hearts, and whisper of the love That views afar time's eventide of light PREFACE. " I DO not pretend that my books can teach truth. All I hope for is that they may be an occasion to inquisitive men of discovering truth." Although it was of a subject infinitely higher than that of which the following pages treat, that Bishop Berkeley wrote such words, yet they exactly express the sentiment with which this book is submitted to the public. It may be well to state that the present volume is the development of three parochial lectures given in Louth (Lincolnshire) during the years 1877-78, and I would venture to say that the constant calls and de- mands of a busy parish may help to explain, though not to excuse, much that may be open to criticism. Any one who attempts to deal with the derivation of place-names must do so with the full expectation of calling forth much controversy. As, in pursuing my subject, I have often had to change my opinions, so I am fully prepared, in sending them before the tribunal viii PREFACE. conclusions dis- of the public, to see many cherished cases reversed. proved, and my own judgment in many Far abler writers have pointed out the uncertainty that too often hangs over the original meaning of a local name, even when every effort has been made to is to doubt that of the trace it, and it impossible many derivations given in this volume will be charged with rashness and credulity. We may perhaps admit that, in dealing with such a subject, it is often by almost exhausting the wrong that the right is gained. If, then, the following pages do nothing more than conduce to the exhaustion of error, they place the right one step nearer to attainment. The subject of place-names possesses interest for comparatively few, and it is most unlikely that the greater part of this book, entering, as it necessarily does, into tedious details and technicalities, will find many readers. It is however hoped that the earlier chapters, as well as the concluding one, may not be without attraction for all who are interested in the history of the county. If, moreover, some of the names here discussed are found to throw a side-light, however dim, upon the life and associations of a past that cannot be more than faintly realized, it will be confessed that the studies, of which the is result here given, have not been altogether fruitless. PREFACE. IX Whilst heartily wishing that the subject had fallen into more competent hands, I can only hope that I may have led the way 1 to a more complete and correct elucidation of at least one part of the county nomencla- ture than the present attempt can pretend to be. The Glossary appended to this volume is the result of a careful examination and comparison of many works, but is chiefly indebted to the following, viz. : —Cleasby and Vigfusson's Icelandic Dictionary, Professor Skeat's Etymological Dictionary of the English Language, Dr. Jamieson's Dictionary of the Scottish Language, the Glossary of the Cleveland Dialect, by the Rev. J. C. Atkinson, Vicar of Danby, and Stratmann's Dictionary of Old English. I would take this opportunity of returning my warmest thanks for most courteous and ready help from Professor Worsaae of Copenhagen, and to Professor Rygh of Christiania. I would also acknowledge, with much gratitude, the unfailing sympathy and advice of my friend, the Rev. M. G. Watkins, Rector of Barnoldby- le-Beck. Whitby, August, 1883. 1 This ought to be said with some reserve, inasmuch as a short, but interesting paper on this very subject was read by the Precentor of Lincoln at the annual meeting of the Lincoln Architectural Society, and has been printed in the Report for 1882. The Danish element in the topography and language of Lincolnshire is also touched upon in Sir Charles Ander- son's Lincoln Pocket Guide. CONTENTS. CHAPTER PAGE I.

LINCOLNSHIRE AND THE DANES. CHAPTER I. THE DANISH OCCUPATION. " In there stepped a stately Raven Not the least obeisance made he ; Ghastly, grim, and ancient Raven, wandering from the Nighlly shore, Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore.' The Raven, E. A. Poe. It may be that education and the love of travel have, to some extent, weakened the popular misconception that to live in Lincolnshire means little short of flounder- in a and with it is ing swamp shivering ague ; yet hardly rash to say that the county, as a whole, excites less interest than any other in the mind of an average Englishman. Those who know its broad acres best feel that scant justice is done to it by strangers, who have never taken the trouble to see it for themselves. The day will doubtless come, when the general public will be awakened to the fact that Lincolnshire enjoys one of the healthiest climates in the in a drive kingdom ; that, across the wolds, a landscape meets the eye surpassing in beauty the scenes familiar to the South-countryman 13 2 LINCOLNSHIRE AND THE DANES.

Believing that members, who have recently joined the Union> will find some little interest in knowing where field meetings have been held in the past, and that old members will not be displeased to be reminded of what districts have been visited, this resume has been drawn up. The information contained in it will also be of some use in making future arrangements for visiting the varied surface of our wide county. On June 12th, 1893, the first Field meeting was held at MABLETHORPE — a great day for lovers of nature. Many county naturalists, and also neighbours from adjacent counties, lent their aid in making the opening day a success. The out- come was the formation of the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union, as now constituted. The second meeting was held on August 7th, at WOOD- H.\LL SPA, and a goodly number of species were recorded. May 24th, 1894, found the members at LINCOLN. The bank of the Fossdyke and Hartsholme \^^ood were investigated, and a general meeting was held in the evening.

    LowC making low carbon communities happen Ofgem 9, Millbank, London SW1P 3GE You ref : 71/10 14th June 2010 Our ref : For Attention : Mr G Evans Head of Profession – Engineering Dear Sirs, 71/10 : Long Term Development Statements for Electricity Distribution Networks- Consultation on the Form of Statement. Background We thank you for the opportunity to respond to the above consultation document. LowC Communities is actively involved in CHP, distributed generation and the load connections market and also operates within both the consultancy and installation/connection environs. LowC also participate in the ongoing electricity connections debates and are active within both the Electricity Connections Steering Group (ECSG) and Metered Customers Connections Group (MCCG). Preamble 1) In the first instance it would be useful to clarify that most, if not all the DNO’s have actually separated their SLC25 Documents into 2 sections (Part 1 and Part 2). Whilst Part 1 relates to general and generic connection parameters, and is generally available on a free of charge basis from each of the DNO’s, we would point out that it actually contains little technical information that is of value to any potential network user. We would confirm that it is the Part 2 Document that is of value and actually contains the technical information that defines the system parameters and the appropriate and relevant information to enable the recipient to investigate and review the network and any associated system constraints. It is of relevance that it is the Part 2 Document that has, in the past, not always been placed in the public domain.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

The range of situations, and of emotions, to which we can be exposed is huge. These things help to form the richness of human living. But in themselves they can sometimes be immensely difficult to handle. Jesus’ promise was to be with his friends. Although they experienced the crushing sadness of his death, and the huge sense of betrayal that most of them felt in terms of their own abandonment of him, they also experienced the joy of his resurrection and the happiness of new times spent with him. They would naturally have understood that his promise to ‘be with them’ meant that he would not physically leave them. However, what Jesus meant when he said that they would not be left on their own was that the Holy Spirit would always be with them.
