I. P. M. Iii. 301. 88 CROPREDY TYPE VI. 1316 Cropurthe? Pad. Writs, ii. 352. It has been suggested that Type I may be originally O. E. *croppan rip. Rip is a common second element in O. E. Pi. Ns. Cp. Cittan rip (Childrey), Scottan rip (Shottery: see references under Bolney)^ and, as these names show..., normally loses the final consonant. Cp.

It is to be noted, however, that none of the forms in Type I show any sign of the final/, which appears as -/, -th, and -d until quite a late date in similar names. For details see under Bolney. This throws some doubt on the etymology croppan rlp^ and the only other possibility seems to be that O. E. Perige, ' a pear-tree/ has had some influence on the second element, or that the name represents O. E.
