DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Transactions of the East Riding Antiquarian Society, Vol. 6: For the Year Ending September, 1898 It would be futile to attempt to enumerate with any degree of completeness the manifold causes which have given rise to the naming Of fields. The following, however, are among the most frequent in connection with those of the East Riding names which have come under my notice - The nature of the land itself; the products Of the land, Whether of a Wild or cultivated kind; the uses to which the field is put; its size, Whether comparative or specific; its shape; the position with regard to the homestead or other places; the name Of an erewhile owner or occupier; the tilling of the field; the conformation of the land; the nature Of the enclosure; the animals and birds that have frequented the field or its immediate neighbourhood; the Object to which the rent of the field is put; religious beliefs and superstitions connected with fields buildings which have stood in them; the races to which the inhabitants of the country have belonged, as well as events that have taken place upon or near the particular field.
