Great British place names ~ 3

A very happy Easter to everyone.

On a day like to day I would like to present you all with an Easter Bunny.

Bunny is a village just a few miles away from my own village.

During the reign of Edward the Confessor, the Parish of Bunny was owned by a Saxon called Levenot. In those days, c1003-66, the spelling was 'Bune', the Old-English term for reed. The spelling has varied throughout the centuries, and it is seen as 'Bonei', or 'Boneya', 'Boney', then 'Bunney' and most recently 'Bunny'.

Great idea for Easter! Before your explanation, I thought the sign was asking drivers to slow down for bunny traffic across the road, hee hee. :)
