Blyth.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-10-10. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-09-02.
The north Nottinghamshire village of Blyth is mentioned twice in the Gest (see Evidence below). It is first mentioned in Domesday Book (1086), where it occurs as "Blide".[1] The village is located on the A1, the Great North Road. In the Middle Ages it was a rather more substantial town than now. It had two leper hospitals, a priory, three hermitages as well as markets and fairs. Of its former glory little now remains.[2]
Quotations
[c. 1500:]
