And an Offal Field on the TM for Weobley (Herefs), https://htt.herefordshire.gov.uk/1092.aspx?parish=WEOBLEY&PageNo=20. This and Offal Wood seem to be a different sort of landscape from the Cambridgeshire Offals, about which Susan Oosthuizen has written: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6himO-4Xu3cC&pg=PA56&lpg=PA56&dq=%22offal%22+%22furlong%22&source=bl&ots=lgLXuF_mb-&sig=ACfU3U3twnLdACFlT4zmQdpZtzg59eh9VQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjduJvmpdrkAhW6SBUIHalADeIQ6AEwAnoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22offal%22%20%22furlong%22&f=false and https://www.academia.edu/2613989/Medieval_greens_and_moats_in_the_Central_Province Jeremy Harte From: The English Place-Name List <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Diana Whaley Sent: 18 September 2019 12:26 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: offal Briefly: I don't know, but I see there are two Offal names in Cambridgeshire that are clearly le Aldefelde or similar in C13th documents. I guess yours can't be the same thing since C13th would be very early for assimilated offal spellings? On another tack, the Newcastle street-name Pudding Chare is sometimes conjectured to be a reference to offal, so perhaps a potential parallel to the modern sense of offal if needed. The numerous field-names containing pudding are ususally interpreted as referring to soft, sticky ground. all best wishes Diana ________________________________ From: The English Place-Name List <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> on behalf of Keith Briggs <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Sent: 18 September 2019 11:57 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: offal Can the word "offal" occur in a place-name? The following are 13th-century records of a place in Newbourne, Suffolk: Loffal, Le Offal x3, Offal x3, Offalhel. It is described in the documents as a marsh, but the last place is a hill. The first sense in OED is `that which falls or is thrown off from some process, as husks from milling grain, chips from dressing wood, etc.; residue or waste products', which is reasonably plausible as a minor name, but are there other examples?
