Land of Nod, Neithrop
« on: Sunday 06 September 20 07:22 BST (UK) »
In the 1841 Census for William Azlewood b1801, the address listed is
Land of Nod, Banbury. Town Neithrop. Ref H0107/873/3/13/19.
Looking at the actual sheet, Land of Nod is after Parsons Meadow, Bridge Wharf, Mill and before Back Lane.
I did look at google but could only find a place in Yorkshire with that name.
Does anyone have any idea where it is or how it got its name?  I did wonder about a pub but there are no publicans listed.

Sounds like a made up name however I have learned there are many places that sound made up .... like my grea grandparents lived in 'puddingbag lane' so googled it and came up with this which says something about it ( ... enclosures surrounding the hamlet of Neithrop;.......... painting a new City in the Land of Nod.) https://www.banburymuseum.org/Cake%20and%20Cockhorse/VOL_10/V10NO02.pdf

Which is in this book.;

 I don't think it has anything to do with the area in question though, it being a "humerous" bill.

Lots of hamlets, farmsteads etc with Biblical names can be found on the old maps, everything from Bethlehem or Nazareth to Paradise, Eden, Ararat, so why not Land of Nod?
