  • East Chaldon Settlement Boundary Review Background Paper – January 2015
    This document contains two parts: Part A is specific to East Chaldon, showing the Council’s proposed amendments to the settlement boundary. Part B is an appendix common to all of the settlement boundary reviews and provides the Council’s approach to the review. This sets out the background to the district-wide settlement boundary review, for example discussing why the Council supports using settlement boundaries, and provides criteria for what should or should not be included within a settlement boundary. The Council is inviting comments on both parts of this document as part of the Partial Review Issues and Options Consultation which runs from 29 January to 13 March 2015. The Council will update this document after every consultation stage.

  • Examine the Value of Place-Names As Evidence for the History, Landscape And, Especially, Languages of South East Dorset
    Examine the Value of Place-Names as Evidence for the History, Landscape and, Especially, Languages of South East Dorset. Gemma Ellis Overview This paper analyses 40 place-names in South East Dorset, stretching from the modern boundary of Hampshire, along the Purbeck coast, to just east of Weymouth (Fig. 1). Continuing the trend of place-names throughout England, most names have Old English (OE) origins, as the Anglo-Saxons renamed places as they immigrated to land which was largely swamp or forest.1 However, there are three names of Brittonic origin. Welsh influence is expected due to the relatively close proximity to Wales. Figure 2 shows the large amount of surviving Celtic names in Dorset. For a similar reason I have found no direct Old Norse linguistic influence because Dorset was securely in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Wessex when Danelaw was enacted in the 9th century to separate Viking invaders. Despite large Roman settlements at Poole, there is little evidence of the Latin language because it was not generally spoken in rural areas.2 Although, Dorchester, to the west of my corpus, retains the chester element because a Roman road went from there to Wimborne Minster and down to Poole Harbour. On the other hand, there are many Old French (OFr) place-name elements which originate from Norman aristocratic family personal names. I will be dividing the place-names by Figure 1 Maps illustrating the position of my corpus. whether they are topographical, habitative or Place-names marked in red are derived from OE, blue personal and within each category will study the have Celtic elements, yellow have Norman family names’ linguistic origins, offering more insight names, green are modern names, and pink have Latin or into the area’s history and language change.
