Scartho
Scartho () is a suburban village in the southern part of Grimsby, England, and in the unitary authority of North East Lincolnshire. Scartho's population is approximately 11,000. Up until the end of the Second World War it was a village; subsequent post-war expansion on the greenfield areas between Scartho and Grimsby has resulted in the village becoming an outer suburb. Its population has increased through recent urban developments such as Scartho Top. History Etymology Like 'Grimsby' the etymology of the word Scartho can be traced back to having Old Norse origin, more than likely due to the ancestry of the surrounding area. In ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'', A. D. Mills identifies the elements ''skarth'' or ''skafr'' and the ending ''haugr'' to give the meaning as 'Mound near a gap' or a mound 'frequented by cormorants'. 11th century The earliest surviving written reference to Scartho is in the ''Domesday Book'' of 1086 where it shares an entry with the adjoining pa ...

Wold Newton, Lincolnshire
Wold Newton is a village and civil parish in North East Lincolnshire, England. It is situated just over west from the A18 road, north-west from Louth, and north-east from Market Rasen. History Origins Although archaeological evidence and analysis of place names indicates millennia of settlement within the current parish boundary, the etymology of the name 'Wold Newton' dates the village to about the 8th century. It is therefore assumed that today's settlement began as a new Anglo Saxon farm in an otherwise largely Danish landscape. Coates' commentary on the place-names of Lincolnshire analyses the name 'Enschedik', the ancient name of a ditch running between the parishes of Wold Newton and Hawerby-cum-Beesby, and says that it is "tempting to regard it as a feature made when the 'new farm' of oldNewton was inserted into an essentially Danish landscape". Archaeology The most significant archaeological discovery in Wold Newton was the discovery of Anglo Saxon urns i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
