What's in a name?

Year 7 Homework
Click on this link to take you to the University of Nottingham Institute for Name Studies.

Remember you have to find the meaning of 10 settlement names , including why Oldham is so called.
Any problems then come and tell me before the next lesson.

Well thats strange, Stalybridge, is not on there, but everything around it is, how strange. But instead of Stalybridge, it appears to have been split up into Stayly and Matley which have not been used since 1706 and they were areas owned by local land lords, So why have they done this?
