Tortington
Tortington is a small village in the Arun District, Arun District of West Sussex, England. It lies between the Arundel to Ford, West Sussex, Ford and the Arundel to Chichester roads, southwest of Arundel (where the population taken at the 2011 Census was included). History Before the Norman Conquest of 1066 the farmland of Tortington was tilled by an Anglo-Saxon freeman called Leofwine. By the time William's commissioners visited this part of Sussex just twenty years later to sit in the shire court and evaluate property for the great Domesday Survey, there were 8 households in the settlement. The land (plough land, woodland and 30 acres of meadows), in the Hundred of Binsted, was worked by Ernucion, also a freeman but a tenant of Earl Roger de Montgomery, whose loyal service to the Conqueror had been rewarded by the granting of huge tracts of land throughout England. Those lands included manors near Arundel in Sussex. A church was built here sometime after the Domesday Book of 10 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ulverston
Ulverston is a market town and a civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. In the 2001 census the parish had a population of 11,524, increasing at the 2011 census to 11,678. Historically in Lancashire, it lies a few miles south of the Lake District National Park and just north-west of Morecambe Bay, within the Furness Peninsula. Lancaster is to the east, Barrow-in-Furness to the south-west and Kendal to the north-east. History The name ''Ulverston'', first noted as ''Ulurestun'' in the Domesday Book of 1086, consists of an Old Norse personal name, ''Úlfarr'', or the Old English ''Wulfhere'', with the Old English ''tūn'', meaning farmstead or village. The personal names ''Úlfarr'' and ''Wulfhere'' both imply "wolf warrior" or "wolf army", which explains the presence of a wolf on the town's coat of arms. The loss of the initial W in ''Wulfhere'' can be linked to Scandinavian influence in the region. Locally, the town has traditionally been kn ...
