What
is in a name
Luddington
a name I claimed
after
exchanging rings.
Anglo-Saxon
roots
Luda’s
farmstead
Dodda’s
well
Feels
old, aged, well rooted.
During
the English civil war,
An
apple barn in the village
of
Luddington was pilfered
its
‘carefully stored; apples, looted
by
light-fingered thieving troops.
I always thought, there might be
some connection with Luddites.
Though
checking the etymology
It
seems that Ned Ludd
was
entirely made up
and
I’m not sure I approve
of
smashing the spinning Jenny.
