Is there much difference between a sedge, a heaton, and a wike? Sounds like a mond might just increase property values.

Dunno, Rick - values are steadily increasing anyway.

All these suffixes are old Viking words, as are most of the place names are in Yorkshire.

Heckmondwike was "Hegmond's Wike" Wike or Wyke is a farm. There is a place called "Wyke" a mile or so from here, and many Heatons. Derivation of "Liversedge" is not definitely known, AFAIK.

See you Monday - off to London for weekend, if I can get out of the driveway (a bit of snow here!)
