Etymology

'Codd's farm,' v. tun . For this pers. name cf. Coddimoor (PN Bk 74). The name is found also in Codesuuellan , Codeswelle (BCS 236, 430) in this parish, and cf. Cotheridge supra 116. For its possible further significance v. Cotswolds supra 1. The Cot -, Cut - forms are probably due to anticipation of the t of the suffix.
