jan 1, 1549 - cony-garth
Description:
In the original spelling the two elements were ‘coning-earth’. 1499 <i>ij acres and more of arrabill grownde and annexed it to a cunnyngerthe</i>, Farmanby (NRR1/189); <i>c</i>.1534 ‘receives yearly 4s for <i>lez Cunyngarth</i>’, Bridlington (YRS80/2). This second example illustrates how the final ‘g’ of ‘coning’ was attracted to the suffix to give ‘garth’: 1549 ‘the coneygarth with all the coneys there’, Scagglethorpe (YRS50/164).Added to timeline:
