296. 1634 Cropredie. Oxf. Visit. 333. TYPE IV (variant of Type III). 133 Cropperdy. Inq. Ad Q. D. 162. 1805 Croperdy. Map in Camden. TYPE V (combination of Types III and IV). 1398 Cropperedye. Cal. 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. Bolney below, where the same process has taken place. 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.
