  • CHANGE in the BY-NAMES and SURNAMES of the COTSWOLDS, 1381 to C1600 DAVID HARRY PARKIN
    CHANGE IN THE BY-NAMES AND SURNAMES OF THE COTSWOLDS, 1381 TO c1600 DAVID HARRY PARKIN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education, University of the West of England, Bristol April 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my Director of Studies, Professor Richard Coates, for his guidance, support and patience, without which I am sure this thesis would not have materialised. Thanks also to my supervisor, Dr Michael Daller, for his help in statistical matters and advice in the early stages of my research, as well as to Dr Paul Cullen, for his supervision in the later stages of my study, and for sparking my interest in onomastics a number of years ago. I would also like to thank the AHRC and UWE for funding this research. I would like to offer special thanks to Mr Peter McClure, for sharing his considerable expertise throughout my course of study, and whose recommendations in the early stages were essential in focusing the research design. I am grateful for help and encouragement from Deborah Cole, Dr Simon Draper, Professor Patrick Hanks, Kate Hardcastle and Dr Duncan Probert, as well as that from Professor Coates and Dr Cullen, who make up the FaNUK team at UWE. Thanks also go to all in the UWE Linguistics department, for their comments over the last three years. I owe many thanks to Dr Carolyn C Fenwick, not just for her transcription of all extant 14th-century poll tax returns, without which this thesis would not have been possible, but also for sharing her thoughts on the nature of the documents and the contribution of the scribes.
