Rotherbridge : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rotherbridge
Rotherbridge is a small, rural community situated approximately south-west of Petworth in West Sussex, England. Until 1800, the road from Chichester to Petworth crossed the River Rother by a bridge here; the river acquired its present name from the bridge. Rotherbridge also gave its name to the Hundred of Rotherbridge which comprised several of the surrounding villages, as well as the town of Petworth. ==Etymology== The name "Rotherbridge" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon ''Redrebruge'', meaning "cattle bridge", or "cattle way". The original Old English name was "hrÿdõer brycge", meaning "bridge over which cattle are driven". By 1280, the name had become "Rutherbrig", taking its present form in 1550. The name "Rother" for the river is a back formation from "Rotherbidge". Before this the river was known as the "Scir", a Saxon word meaning "bright" or "clear".〔〔
