[edit] Place-name meaning

This is disputed. --Sunfazer |Talk 14:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

The lastest history books on lichfield and mercia suggest that the place name has derived from lectocetum. I can get a reference if needed.

Are you deisputing that lectocetum is not grey wood in celtic ? I think its trying to suggest that the roman name lectocetum is in some way related to the local british dialet word for grey wood. Not that is actually is grey wood in some celtic langauage.

Is this what you are disputing ?

[edit] Waste Management

Suggest the page has an extra section about waste management and recycling in the city. Snowman 17:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The theory that lichfield developed from meaning field of the dead has long been renounced. Although im sure it may has had some effect on the later spelling of the name. This theory is covered in other items of interest.
