So are the names with components such as thwaite.
Lakeland Dialect Society Glossary
doesn't have thwaite ( pronounced "th't" locally - my wife, Doth, is mostly
from Thackthwaite - near Little Mell Fell)
but "A Tour To The Caves In The Environs Of Ingleborough and Settle" John Hutton 1780 does in its
Glossary of old and original words now used in the North of England.
