1 gen 1647 anni - nether

Descrizione:

Lower, in contrast to upper, although in Yorkshire the contrast was often with ‘over’. 1377-8 <i>Pro quodam Louthyr fact[o] apud Nethyrmylne</i>, Bolton Priory (YRS154/564); 1489 <i>a certan ground at the neder end of the ... holme</i>, Ovenden (YRS69/122); 1552 <i>a payre of bede stockes likewise in the nether parler</i>, Pontefract (Th19/318); 1647 <i>I went to Shore hall, and so through the nether part of the town,</i> Thurlstone (SS65/40). Its use in everyday vocabulary declined, in favour of lower, and this affected many minor place-names. For example in 1579 Low Moor in North Bierley was <i>the nether common next adjoining Okenshaye</i> (LRS2/115) and Lower Houses in Almondbury developed in a similar way from Nether House. The element survived in Netherton, Netherthong and many more names.
