given, under the form of Bupsury, to asmall portion of the 
upper part of the town, but formerly applicable to a larger 
extent of land and certainly including a portion of what now 
is comprised in WOOLLEY. Now in the Zesta de Nevit, this 
last place in an enumeration of the dependencies of Bradford 
iscalled Wir-LEGE. Can we doubt its being a memorial of

family name Blount (or Blunt). In the Test. de Nev. 
pp. 141, 153, we have one knight’s fee held by Roger

(de Willelmo Blundo). In the Ing. Non. (1340) we have
