The existence of Bicknor is documented as far back as the Domesday Book of 1086, when it was known by the name ''Bicanofre''. The second Morpheme of this name, ''ōfer'', is thought to refer to a river bank in Old English , which jibes with the towns' river-straddling site. Various hypotheses have been put forward regarding the origin of the first morpheme in the name. MAP SOURCES |
