   • 1889 June 8, “The study of field-names. From _Macmillan's Magazine_”, in Littell's Living Age‎, volume 181, number 2345, page 624:
     From what has been said it will be obvious that the names of other animals, such as deer, must enter largely into the composition of local names. We may see this in Darlands, sometimes written Dare-lands and Deer Lands, in Ecclesfield, and in the adjacent Doe Royd, a royd being a forest clearing. Deór, a wild beast, but in these names a deer, is also seen in Darton, which is found in Old English as deórtûn (deer-park), and in Darby or Derby. Speed's map of Derby, 1611, contains an emblematic drawing of a deer-park, surrounded by a wooden fence, with a single deer in the middle.
   • 1898, Harry Speight, Chronicles and Stories of Old Bingley. A Full Account of the History, Antiquities, Natural Productions, Scenery, Customs and Folk-lore of the Ancient Town and Parish of Bingley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire‎, London, England: Elliot Stock, page 69:
     Thwaites was, no doubt, another similar station, and in the old name of Ravenroyd (mentioned in the Poll Tax of 1378-9), between Thwaites and Bingley, we have still another exposition of a royd, or clearing, made for the men of the raven, as the Vikings were sometimes called. Often on their marches they carried live ravens, as portents of good luck, and on their battle-flags and banners its image always appeared, in the same way as the eagle was borne as the ensign of the Romans. The raven, indeed, was unknown in Yorkshire before its importation by the Vikings from the cliffs of Norway in the ninth century. To the valleys of Yorkshire they gave the name dales, and the streams they called becks, and the ravines gills.
