Yes Magnus, but it is a geographic compound alluding to a place thought to
be owned by an individual like Cerdicesford. There is also Aylesham= Ægeles
hame; Aylesbury= Ægeles burig.
The fact is in Old English the names are indiscriminately either put
together or put separate. We could accept like Petresburig (Peter's bury),
but not Ægeles thærp?! :(
If we were that hard-assed about patronyms, I would be happy. :)
Welga!
