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.
