LOCAL NAMES.

I have thought it desirable to introduce into the glossary a selection of place-names or field-names found within the defined district. These have been obtained from ordnance and other maps, from manuscript surveys and printed books, and from information communicated to me orally. A few of the place-names may be found to be just outside the district.[1] It was not in all cases evident from the map or book whether a particular field or place was within or without the boundary of a particular township. It will, however, be found that the prescribed limits have been rarely or slightly overpassed.

  1. I have already said that a few place-names in the parishes of Norton and Dronfield have been introduced.
