Windy Mundy
« on: Saturday 10 March 07 20:16 GMT (UK) » |
|
Nearly seventyyears ago I lived in a cottage in Shropshire by the name of Windy Mundy. Can anyone please tell me what Mundy means or for that matter what does Windy Mundy mean? I do recall seeing the meaning in a Dictonary many years ago, but cannot find it of late.

Hi Eric,
Windy Mundy, now theres a name I havent heard for a long time, If you lived in Pitchford ab 70 years ago, there is a good chance you rubbed shoulders with my late father and his lot, They were the " Edwards "family from just up the road in Acton Burnell, big into cricket.

I still have surviving relatives living in the area so next time I visit them I will ask how it got ist name,
Best wishes.
Pete.

Hello Eric
What a small world!!! My first husband lived in Pitchford for many years, so I'm very familiar with the village. There are also relations of his living at one of the Pitchford Estate lodges.
Pitchford Hall is very impressive, isn't it?
Pete, Acton Burnell is another lovely village. During the Summer I often drive there with my children for a picnic in the grounds of the Castle, and a bit of sunbathing if we're lucky!!!!!

It was marvelous to see those photographs of what I believe were farm buildings at the time I was in the mid 1930S.
I do recall seeimg in a very old Dictonary some years ago the meaning behind the name. But of late I am unable to find how it got its name. Can anyone please help?
Very many thanks for your kind help.

hello again
in Shropshire dialect the word "windy" was used to describe something silly or playful.
I don't know of Mundy unless it was a surname of a previous tenant/owner who may of been nicknamed "windy" Mundy.
a mundle is an old word for a ladle,that could be used for skimming the pitch off the water at Pitchford.
all this is pure speculation,but I thought that it might be of some interest.

Lloydy, You really have have gone to a tremendous amount of effort in your research on my behalf. Very many thanks. You are not going to believe this. I was the little boy with war time memories and author of the article. Many thanks. Eric.
