Subject: RE: Origins: background: 'Master Kilby'
I live in a village called Kilby which means literally "The place of the child of noble birth". It is an old village going back some 1500 years or more. It is linked to Wistow where one of the sons of Offa(I think) was murdered in around 850
There is a spinney in Kilby called "Lady Maisry's Spinney". I have done a fair bit of research as to wether there is a connection with these two songs but as yet I am unable to make a connection .Any thoughts folkies?
