Descrizione:

The field maple. In a comment on place-names Oliver Rackham said ‘maple is confined to its present southerly distribution’ (OR1/209) and yet it occurs quite commonly in Yorkshire now and evidently has a long history there: 1617 <i> took a hand byll from </i> [John] <i> Sampson </i> ... <i> cuttinge a thicke saughe and a thick mapple in Spellow hill </i>, Brandsby (NYRO44/140); 1619-21 <i> James Silvester for taking an Alder and a maple in Newtondale </i> (NRR1/30). There are the ancient settlements of Mappleton and Mapplewell and a number of minor localities: n.d. ‘next to <i> Mapellessic </i>’, Farnley (YRS120/74); 1208 <i> cultura de Mapelwelle, </i>Lead (SS94/149); 1329 ‘the place called <i> Mapel </i>’, Hemsworth (YRS120/99); 1383 ‘wood<i> del Mapelhirstes </i>’, West Bretton (YRS76/14). It was also responsible for by-names: 1379 <i> Ricardus de Mapelbeck </i>;<i> Johannes de Mapples </i>, Rotherham (PTWR). The wood was used for some table items: 1618 <i> Rounde maple trenshers 3 dozen cost me 6s 6d </i>, Brandsby (NYRO44/152). It is now principally a hedgerow tree.
