Re: Womanby Street

The Vikings/Danes left a number of place name suffixes on our island e.g.
......by = dwelling/place to live
......thwaite = clearing or meadow
......thorpe = outlying farmstead
.....holm = island
....zoy = island (as in Middlezoy and Western Zoyland down here in Somerset)

And talking of place names....I recently did a walk that took in the wonderfully named village of 'Nempnett Thrubwell' and I drove through 'Huish Episcopi' last week.
