sort a diminutive. We have similar formations by the use 

 of the vowel " i" in such words as — top, tip ; stock, stick ; 

 cock, eh i eh ; fox, vixen ; muck, mix en (dung heap). 

 Honewinus ; — from this we have, in a slightly altered spelling, the 

 name Unwin. 



Hugo ; — hence come Hugh, Howe, Hughes, and Howes. 



Hugolinus ; — Here the Norman scribe is Latinizing the old word 

 Hugol, which is, I take it, the old name Howell, other 

 forms of which we which we may have in Hole and Hull, 

 (II) Names of Places. 



Alvedeston ; — this is the name of a chapelry in the parish of Broad 

 Chalk. Under the entry of Chelche (=Chalk) in 

 Domesday (W. Domesd. 47, 204), we have one Aileva (a 

 Latinized form probably of Olive) entered as holding two 

 hides under the abbess of Wilton. The name Alvedes- 

 ton seems clearly enough to mean the town (or village) 

 of Aileva. 



Alveston ; — this is a name now lost, but it is said in Domesday to 

 have been a subordinate manor appurtenant to that of 

 Bradford (W. Domesd. 44, 196). The only place that at 

 all answers to such a description is what is now called 

 Cumberwell, close by Monkton Farleigh. Now as the 

 tenant of the last named place was, in the time of the 

 Confessor, the brother of the well-known Brictric, who 

 bore the name of Alwi (Ibid, 131), I venture to suggest 

 that he may also have held as tenant the neighbouring 

 estate, and that from him it was of old called Alves-tun 

 (Alwi's village, or holding) . 



Alderston; — now part of Whiteparish, in the Hundred of Frustfield. 



In the Domesday Record there is an estate entered under 

 the name Ferstesfeld (Frustfield), assessed at two hides, 

 which was held as Thane-land, both in the time of the 

 Confessor and in that of the Conqueror by one Aldred 

 (W. Domesd., 135, 216). I cannot doubt but that from 

 him Alders-ton (Aldredes-tun) derives its name. 



Alderbury ; — this word of old was always spelt Alwardberie. The
