At the Restoration, which saw not just the return of the monarchy, but also of the Anglican Settlement, the parishes reverted to their separate status as in pre-Commonwealth times. The resulting parish, held by a rector, is formally referred to as Earnley with Almodington.ĭuring the Civil War and Interregnum, the parish of Earnley was united with East Wittering for the purposes of officially countenanced Presbyterian worship and oversight during the official suppression of Anglicanism. Also, the parish of Earnley was enlarged in 1524, absorbing the former parish of Almodington, now a hamlet of Earnley parish. The boundaries of the manor of Earnley and the parish of the same name are not strictly coterminous, as the manor itself was not contained within the parish borders, but included part of the neighbouring parish of West Wittering. The parish and hundred lie in the original pre-Conquest Saxon division of Sussex known as the Rape of Chichester. It formed part of the hundred of La Manwode or Manwood, now found under the form Manhood, which in turn took its name from a locality in the parish of Earnley. The parish of Earnley lies on the southern coast of England in the county of Sussex, 4 miles (6.4 km) south-west of Chichester, the local cathedral city.

The poet, however, often omitted the alliteration and the scribe, who attempted by marks of punctuation to show which half-lines belonged together, seems in consequence to have sometimes lost his way.Īn preost wes on leoden Laȝamon wes ihoten. It is a relic of the Old English verse, each half-line (or each line, as here printed) containing two principal accents, and being more or less closely connected with its fellow. The opening lines give us the best information we have about him. This was the work of Layamon, a parish priest of Ernley in Worcestershire. Lewis, 1900, p. 66):Ībout the year 1205 an English 'Brut' was written. The latter place is connected with Layamon, poet and historian, one of the earliest writers in the English tongue ( The Beginnings of English Literature, C.M. Other English place names deriving from the same two words are thought to include Earley, Berkshire and Areley Kings (otherwise Areley-on-Severn), formerly called Ernley, Worcestershire. A later form, Earneleia, derives from a charter of England's King Aethelstan dated 930. The earliest forms noted are Earneleach, Earnaleagh, Earnelegh found in a document dated 780 during the reign of Oslac, duke of the South Saxons. The name's meaning is interpreted as signifying a place to which eagles resort. As such, it is derived from an Old English compound name composed of earn meaning eagle combined with leah meaning wood. Onomasticians say that the surname's origin, in being drawn from the name of a manor, is topographical in nature, and identical with the place name's origins. 9 Orthographical variety and recent use as a surname, forename, and titular territorial designation.
