Talk:Seer Green

Does Jordans not merit its own page? It is culturally and historically distinct from Seer Green...

Currently it's a redirect to this page. If you feel you have enough info to make it into an article in its own right then yes you can edit it, no problem. Just click on Jordans, then at the top of the page will be a message (saying 'Redirected from Jordans'), click on that Jordans link and then edit the page as normal. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 16:59, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Im not changing this as im not sure how the parish/parish council are linked (Though i assume the same?) and my intepretation may be wrong, but to me the last section about being part of CSG's Parish also suggests that Jordans is now seperated from Chalfont St Giles Parish -- (Jordans is definutely still under Chalfont St Giles Parish Council). Could this be clearer or am I just misreading? T.pearce 16:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh it has its own article now, Jordans is unique and needs its own page. A redirect to Seer Green would be misleading, they only share a railway station that isn't actually in either. It has Beaconsfield post code and is under Chalfopnt st Giles parish that doesn't make it any less distinctive SqueakBox 18:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Etymology

"Seer" doesn't appear to be from Norman French but from old English, I added an extra ref for this although haven't removed the original text.

I originally changed this link to the archive version as the original was not longer live but it seemed odd that "Seer" was from Norman French because knowing a bit of French "Seche Green" seemed to me to be the most likely name to have resulted. Checking this Anglo-Norman dictionary "sec" has an entry (the feminine form would be seche), no other searches for Norman French seem to show "Seer" as being a word for dry. Old and Middle English however had words for dry that resemble "Seer".

Update - it seems fairly certain to me that "Seer" is Anglo-Saxon in origin and not Norman French, it seems in Norman French the village was given the French prefix "La" or "Le" - thus La Cere, Le Shere, La Zere recorded over time, and it seems that somehow a misunderstanding of the etymology arose wrongly attributing "Seer" to Norman French.
