Pamber otherwise: Penberga, 1166; Penberg, 1204; Penbere, 1253; Pambear, 1306 - settlement, village
refce:	Coates 1989 PAMBER, parish and forest Apparently hypothetical Old English 'Pennbeorg'='hill or barrow with an enclosure or fold'. Forms from the 13th century onwards however suggest the second element is 'baer'='woodland swinepasture'; the fact of its being a forest area, probably with common rights of pannage, may have encouraged this reinterpretation of the name.
