What reading level is The Place Names of Bedfordshire book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ceorl, whence Charlton (below). The Old Norse karl, a husbandman, was also a proper name. Its combining form is Karla- ; which seems to have been treated as an A. S. Weak sb. , with a gen. In -an, thus producing a form Carlantun instead of the more nearly correct Karlatun. It is remarkable that Carlton in Cambs. Is likewise spelt Carlentone in D. B. The sense is ' Karl's farm. ' Chalton ; near Sundon. — It seems to be the same place as the Cealhtun mentioned in ^thelstan iEtheling's will, which... also mentions Hocganclif, apparently Hockliffe. The form Cealhtun stands for Cealctun, according to the rule that ct becomes ht in Anglo-Saxon ; see the explanation of Leighton (p. 52). Thus the sense is ' chalk farm. ' Charlton ; to the S. W. Of Blunham. — Misspelt Chalton on the Ordnance map ; but D. B. Mentions Cerlentone as a manor near Blunham. — Spelt Cherletone, R. B. , F. A. ; answering to A. S. Ceorla tun, ' farm of the churls ' or husbandmen ; ceorla being the gen. Pi. There are many Charltons.
