"In the south west were Saxons, who originally didn't refer to themselves as
English, as we can see, for example, in the town name of "Englishcombe"
south of Bristol - a settlement of Angles amongst the Saxons was
distinguished as English."

There are a number of similar examples in the East Midlands which indicate
Frisian settlement - e.g., Frisby in I think Leicestershire or Lincolnshire.
One of the schools in the area where I grew up was named Friesland School,
although this is probably to do with the commemoration of some battle or
aristocrat somewhere rather than a direct link to Fryslan.

Go raibh maith agat,
