Talk:Warlingham

Sources of Local Information
I know a few websites for local information. Caterham On-Line is one such example. It hasn't been updated for several years and so is a bit limited but does have a forum if you want to trace people for example. There's not many users so don't expect hundreds of replies.

The Bourne Society is the local history group. Loads of useful information and they publish history books of many of the local villages based around the now underground Bourne river.

My favourite (I declare I'm biased because it's my website) is The Caterham Link which is a website for the CR3 postcode area and so also covers Woldingham, Whytleafe and Chaldon. It's the only place I know to find out about local events such as fetes, carnivals, charity events, blood donations, local clubs from scouts to flower arranging and loads of other stuff.

Finally, the council's website has some local information although they cover the whole tandridge area Tandridge District Council. Caterhamlink 20:22, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Etymology
I've seen the "Homestead of the followers of Waerla" source of the name "Warlingham" before but I can't find the reference online. If anyone has the reference, please add it in... 163.1.206.130 (talk) 11:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I was led to believe English is one of the conciser tongues. Evidently it means what it says without dwelling on every nuance &mdash; still &mdash; broken down as "War(l)-ing(a)s-home" when broken down - ing(a)s is still a rare word but heard in the suffix "-ing" e.g. "Lemming" "Earthling" "fledgling" other villages at the point of Norman conquest are recorded like Lyminge as "-inge/-ingas" closer to an older, longer form.
