  • Greswell, W H P, the Quantocks and Their Place-Names, Part II, Volume 46
    De duantocks ana tfjeir BY WILLIAM H. P. GRESWELL. etymology of the Place-name, Quantock, anciently THEwritten Cantok, is an interesting but rather elusive " it full study. Some have derived from Gwantog," i.e., of " " openings or combes. Some have regarded Cant-ioc as a " " little in diminutive, meaning headlands ; Dr. Pring his " Briton and Roman on the site of Taunton," has suggested " " hill Cuan," Gaelic for hill, and Toich," country, i.e., the " country : some have playfully mentioned the old Quantum ab hoc," but no one, as far as I know, seems to have thought that Cantok, like Caer Caradoc, may have been named from a person. Crantock in Cornwall, and also in Cardigan is named from Carantacus, and this Saint, a contemporary of King Arthur, is connected with Carhampton according to Leland. At any rate, Carantacus was known under the Quantocks, and, if we desire to speculate, there is no reason why that well-known stone on Winsford Hill should not commemorate Carantacus. To come to more solid facts and documents, perhaps the ear- liest mention of Cantok is in the composite word Cantucudu, i.e., Cantok Wood, in Centwine's famous West Monkton Charter, " when he gave twenty-three mansiones to Glastonbury in loco juxta silvam famosam quae dicitur Cantucudu." This is dated A.D. 682, and the light it gives us is interesting. The fame of 126 Papers^ -c. this Cantok Wood, and of its goodly trees, was already known. The Charter of C entwine was subsequently confirmed by King Ina, the Saxon prince, who figures so largely in our local annals.
