Ah yes, that makes sense. Forgive my ignorance but what are the name books?
The name books were the details of local features ,why they were named , what they meant etc . Recorded before the first large scale mapping . Info supplied by local informants , misters , teachers , shepherds , of varying quality . Some lost others have survived .

Thanks! Now you mention them in a bit more detail, I recollect discussions about them on here in times past.

Interesting you say about a lot of scratching posts being marked as stone. The maps about Buxton have a fair few stones marked which afaik aren't there now. Do you think the clustering is a recording artefact ie some would mark them as stone whereas others wouldn't.
