Cleanup

[edit]

Since no one has edited this page before, and the cleanup flag has been here for nearly a year, i guess no one much comes here. The article seems a little dry, but in view of the tag at the foot that text has come from a 1911 encyclopedia, I'm not surprised. This style was probably all the fashion then.

It needs a more modern take on some of its history. Possibly something more has happened since 1911, a couple more wars, perhaps?Sandpiper 02:25, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Angles or Saxons?

[edit]

The article (which I've left unchanged) makes an unsourced statement that "During the Heptarchy what is now Bedfordshire formed part of Mercia". However, I notice that Green, in the Making of England [1], states that Bedfordshire was Saxon and Huntingdonshire was Angle, making the interesting comment on 19th century dialects that "I do not rely wholly on the fact of the present shire line ; for here language serves as a more definite boundary. Bedfordshire men still speak a Saxon, Huntingdon and Northamptonshire-folk speak an Engle, dialect."

Does anyone know which is correct? AndrewRT(Talk) 18:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
