WINSLADE
Old English 'flode' means 'gutter, intermittent spring' (cf Smith, English Place Name Elements I: 178, Gelling 1984: 22). It is not clear what can have been referred to; there is no stream here now. The name means 'watercourse of Wine', a common Old English man's name. The sequence of two fricatives [sf] gave difficulties, and in the 13th century we find 1236 'Wyneflod' and by 1399 the ancestor of the modern name 'Winslode'. The later development is as if the name contains Old English 'lad'='lode, watercourse, drainage ditch', or rather 'gelad'='difficult passage' (Gelling 1984: 73-6); forms in 'a' are found from Tudor times.
