Summary edit
| Description |
English: Stang Foot A farm much given over to horses at the foot of Stang Forest. The Stang is a formidable hill between the Greta Valley and Arkengarthdale. Stang is apparently a word taken from the Norse meaning a pole or a stake. Compare with Yorkshire dialect biggerstang (a builders' scaffold pole) and the Yorkshire folk custom of 'Riding the Stang' where a person to be upheld for public ridicule (especially for wife-beating) was placed astride a pole and carried around to the accompaniment of whistles and jeers. http://www.viking.no/e/england/e-viking_words_2.htm (Not sure this is entirely relevant, but is interesting in its own right). |
