Some more Scandinavian elements in Suffolk

Keith Briggs

Abstract

This note considers several examples of road-names, a water-names, and a field-name which could be claimed to be purely Scandinavian. These names are of special interest because such types are of extreme rarity in Suffolk. Some of the elements involved are scarce even in more highly Scandinavianised parts of England.
