Coates 1989 RAMSDELL, hamlet in Wootton St Lawrence Very likely hypothetical Old English 'Hramsdell'='dell where wild garlic (Old English 'hramse') grew'. There is a tiny valley SW of the place where a stream rises. The element 'hramse' often appears in place names in forms with a vowel between the 'm' and 's'. |
