satisfactory), it may be worth observing that Cold is a common prefix: thus
there is Cold Ashton, Cold Coats, Cold or Little Higham, Cold Norton, Cold Overton, Cold Waltham, Cold St. Aldwins, --coats, --meere, --well, --stream, and several _cole_, &c. Cold peak is a hill near Kendall. The latter suggests to me a _Query_ to genealogists. Was the old baronial name of Peche, Pecche, of Norman origin as in the Battle Roll? From the fact of the Peak of Derby having been Pech-e _antè_ 1200, I think this surname must have been local, though it soon became soft, as appears from the rebus of the Lullingstone family, a peach with the letter é on it. I do not think that _k_ is formed to similar words in Domesday record. Caldecote, a name of several places, may require explanation. AUG. CAMB. I beg to give you the localities of two "Cold Harbours:" one on the road from Uxbridge to Amersham, 19½ miles from London (see Ordnance Map 7.); the other on the road from Chelmsford to Epping, 13½ miles from the former place (see Ordnance Map No. 1. N.W.). DISS. There are several Cold Harbours in Sussex, in Dallington, Chiddingly, Wivelsfield, one or two in Worth, one S.W. of Bignor, one N.E. of Hurst Green, and there may be more. In Surrey there is one in the parish of Bletchingley. WILLIAM FIGG. |
