jan 1, 1465 - lind

Description:

The lime tree or the wood of the lime tree, also called the linden. It is found in early place-names, e.g. 1190-1202 <i>Lyndholme </i>, Hatfield (PNWR1/8) and also in the description of a boundary between Silkstone and Barnsley: <i>c. </i>1090 <i>per arborem quandam que vocatur Anglice Lind </i> (YRS25/19). In 1337, offences in Sowerby wood near Halifax included the illegal taking of <i>lynde </i> for making <i>sadeltres </i>(WYAS689). Small amounts appear to have been imported from the Baltic: 1465 <i>2 M waynskottes … 3 C claphoult … 12 lyndbordes </i>, Hull (YRS144/80).
