  • Brockhurst is a hamlet in Staffordshire, England, 1 mile sorth-west of Blymhill. It is part of Blymhill and Weston-under-Lizard civil parish within South Staffordshire district. Today the hamlet consists of Brockhurst farm, a red brick 18th farmhouse, and two blocks of semi-detached houses built in 1954. The buildings rest on the site of a much earlier settlement, as evidenced by medieval earthworks. These include a square moat to the south-eastern side of the farmhouse, with raised mound within, and the line of a second moat seventy-five yards to the south-west. Raven speculates on the origin of the name 'Brockhurst': 'Broc' in a place name usually means either stream or badger. 'Hurst' can mean either a wood or a hill, or a wooded hill or even a sandbank in a river. As there are no streams, hills or sandbanks here it might be fair to interpret the name 'Brockhurst' as meaning 'the wood (or clearing in the wood) which has a badger sett'. (en)
  • Brockhurst est un hameau situé dans le Staffordshire en Angleterre, à 15 km au nord-ouest de Wolverhampton. Il est aujourd'hui constitué d'une ferme, dont le bâtiment principal en briques rouges date du XVIIIe siècle, et de deux blocs de maisons mitoyennes construites en 1954. Le site est occupé depuis très longtemps, comme le prouvent les terrassements médiévaux. Ceux-ci incluent des douves carrées au sud-est de la ferme, avec une butte surélevée au centre, et un deuxième fossé situé 70 m plus loin au sud-ouest. L'auteur Michael Raven spécule sur l'origine du nom « Brockhurst ». En anglais, « broc » dans le nom d'un endroit fait généralement référence à un ruisseau ou au blaireau. « Hurst » peut correspondre à un bois ou une colline, voire à un banc de sable sur une rivière. Étant donné qu'il n'y a pas de cours d'eau ni de colline aux alentours, on peut interpréter le nom du village comme « le bois (ou la clairière) abritant un terrier de blaireaux ». (fr)
