1 gen 1693 anni - calgarth

Descrizione:

Literally ‘cabbage yard’, although the evidence suggests that it may have been more generally ‘garden’. The interest in the word is that it is dealt with very briefly in the OED and yet in Yorkshire it was widely distributed and significant enough to give rise to a surname and several place-names: <i>c</i>.1270 <i>Roger del Calgarth</i>, Drax (YRS12/124); 1349 <i>Thoma del Calgarth</i>, Ripon (SS74/141): <i>c.</i>1290 <i>cum quadam cultura que vocatur Kalegarth</i>, Appletreewick (YRS160/90); 1346 ‘of the acres two ... lay in <i>Hughcalgarth</i> in the same field’, Kirby Knowle (YRS65/86). As a word in the daily vocabulary it survived into the early eighteenth century at least: 1518 <i>one place in Esholte with the callgarthe thereto belongynge</i> (YAJ9/324); 1575 <i>j old calgarth spade</i>, Burton in Bishopdale (SS26/255); 1621 <i>I will that Jane Metcalffe shall have ... one calgarth during her natural life</i>, Askrigg (YRS130/43); 1693 <i>the Great Calgarth or garden on one side of Hebden farm</i> (EG88).
