- Lackners 1823 G
Etymology
Lackenhurst Fm (6″) is probably the same as the pers. name Lotenherst , Lotenhurst found in this neighbourhood in 1285 (Ass ), c . 1290 (SAC 40, 100) and 1327 (SR), and land called Lotenhurst in 1511 (SAC 40, 122), Lackners in 1823 (G). Professor Ekwall suggests that we may have here a weak form of the pers. name found in Lottisham (So) which has this same form in BCS 168, 438, late copies. Confusion of t and k is not uncommon and the change of vowel from o to a shows the common Sussex tendency to unround the vowel. Cf. Ratham supra 61.
