Etymology

'The tree-stumps', v. stubb . In the DB survey Ilbert de Lacy's part of Hampole (i, 70supra ) apparently included Stubbs, which was simply called Hanepol to distinguish it from Stubbs Walden (53infra ), which he also held. In 1285 (KI 7) it was held by Robert de Pontefract of Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln. A local stream was called Stubbisike 12Nost 29 (v. sīc ).
