1 gen 1609 anni - rish

Descrizione:

The early spelling of ‘rush’, the grass-like plant found in marshy locations. These were traditionally strewn on the floors of dwellings and more important buildings as late as the seventeenth century. 1525 <i>the expence of my lords house att London</i> ... <i>rishes ivd</i> (WHD39); 1609 <i>for 10 burden of rishes against the judge coming 20d,</i> Skipton (WHD89). The spelling change to ‘rush’ influenced surnames such as Rushton and Rushworth but had less impact on the place-names from which they derive; that is Rishton and Rishworth (GRDict).
