Subject: RE: Folklore: 'frith' a Middle English ramble
Coincidentally, I was reading yesterday of the 17th century parishes in this neck of the Weald, and came accross South Fryth which I then googled. This entry gives the 'peaceful' origin of fryth, though I do wonder whether 'wood' isn't just as likely - this was one big forest once.
