In Response To: FAQ ()

Bingley is in fact an old English term .

} it is a culmonation of two words discribing an area of land which is water logged at some time of the year but not at others. Rather like the somerset levels.

Could you say what those two words are and your source? I'd like to have some more info. Thanks.
