re colwedereshull<br>
<br>
Dear All who have replied <br>
<br>
Many thanks for all your replies and apologies for not having got back sooner -
I have been laid low by a bad cold.<br>
<br>
The estate whose accounts we were translating ( from the Latin - except for
place names in Middle English) lies on fairly flat ground - however at its
eastern end there is a long low ridge now known as Sailor's Bank. Its slope
does face north - so it could well be a "cold weather hill"<br>
<br>
However the main farming at the time seems to have centred on both cattle and
sheep, so there is still a possibility that it refers to 'wethers' i.e. hill
where the wethers graze<br>
<br>
re my suggestion that the Col might also mean hill - see Ekwall in ODEPN under
Coleshill where he mentions an unrecorded OE coll = hill corresponding to ON
'kollr' = head, top, hill MLG (Platt!) Kol/kolle = head<br>
<br>
We still have one whole side of the folio to translate. If masses of 'weders'
turn up, then we'll go with them. If not, then a north facing slope does it for
me!<br>
<br>
thanks again.<br>
<br>
