1 gen 1700 anni - kirk

Descrizione:

The northern word for church, formerly in general use across the county. It was a very common place-name element and numerous examples date from before the Norman Conquest (PNWR8): its function as a prefix in place-names such as Kirkheaton and Kirkburton, parishes, formed in the post-Conquest period, reflect its continuing role in the regional vocabulary. That is also apparent in documents: 1456 <i> Thos Wilkynson, Vicar of the Kyrk of Halifax </i> (FACcxcvi); 1491 <i> sall pay ... xx merkes of lawfull monnay ... at Skypton kyrke afore ... x of the cloke, </i> Glusburn (YRS69/70); 1533 <i> my body to be buried within the kirke of Saint John Baptiste in Wilberfoss </i>(YRS55/324). It remained in dialect use and was current in Halifax in the late eighteenth century (Watson84). Note: 1609 <i> the Kirketowne of Fishlake </i> (G-A); 1676 ‘the parish of <i> Kirkealmonbury </i>’ (YDK112).
