Acorn4	Folklore: 'frith' a Middle English ramble (32)	RE: Folklore: 'frith' a Middle English ramble	19 Jan 19
Around Leicester there are lots of these - Braunstone Frith, Kirby Frith two examples , and the fact that Leicester was part of the Danelaw for forty years would tie in with the Scandinavian links. It would seem that some kind of common grazing/wood gathering rights were involved in this part of what was historically Leicester Forest and this would tie in with the "feelgood" "enjoyment" connotations.
