Etymology

Sugworth Hall, Sugworth (e )1498 Hlm, 1506 Cust, 1540 FF et passim . The first el. of this and Sugden (Bingley) pt. iv infra could be OE  sugga, dial. sugg 'swamp, bog', though with OE  worð 'an enclosure for a dwelling' (most often combined with pers. names) the OE  pers.n. Sucga (cf. Feilitzen 377) would be preferable but not certain.
