grinder Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hi popt. I'm as eager to find out as you.... The only thing I've found so far is a 5Th to 8Th century graveyard in the grounds of Donny tech. Grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasquez Rich Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 So "Lundwood means "Sacred Wood Wood", does it? (Hmmm *thinks* didn't he star in "The Equaliser? lol ) It's a bit like Roydfield Drive, at Waterthorpe... Royd means field.. therefore it means "Field-field Drive!!! lol Yes... just like the "River Avon" means "The River River"!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradescanthia Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Are you kidding!!!!!! The Vikings would be lucky to leave with a shirt on their backs.... The old Ancient Britons on ye old manor could remove the wheels from a Viking chariot in a matter of seconds...............But getting them to put them back on again was a different matter. Hence no historical evidence of Vikings here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinder Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Apparently the Vikings weren't big on building around here but great at the gab, so apart from the odd cross and marker stones not much to see... But language wise a lot of our words are apparently of Viking origin . Both, law,wrong, ill, crooked, club, knife, slaughter... to name but a few...

grinder Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Like the bit in the ARTICALS OF AGREEMENT, on the surrender of Sheffield castle, ( 1644 ). Article 7. That Kellam Homer now living in the castle shall have liberty to remove his goods into the Town or else where with out molestation.. Wonder what Island he worked on ?

A local-ism that we use to "pluralise" like "shoon" for "shoes" or "troon" for "trews" is also a Norse suffix. Queen is also a Norse word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 We brits love to associate ourselves with the vikings while over here in scandinavia the people very rarely mention them , its allmost as if they are embarrassed .Theres rune stones and burial mounds all over this area and no one seems to show the slightest bit of interest! Strange that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USUK Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 There's deep viking roots in and around Sheffield. The village Styrup for instance and the Styring Family are direct decendants of Styrbjorn, one of the head pillagers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
