Etymology
Lund's Fm (6″) (near the North Weald boundary) owes its name to the family of John de la Lund de Wauda (1255Ass ), but as the name is also spelled Launde in the same document and Lande in 1254 (Ass ), it is clearly derived from ME launde , OFr launde , 'glade,' and not from ON lundr, 'grove.' The modern form is then an inverted spelling, parallel to that of Gunters infra 547.
