Comments[edit]
Note that the alternative spelling of "ghyll" was introduced by the Lakes poets: Wordsworth, Southey et al. Presumable as some form of affectation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by REWightman (talk • contribs) 07:18, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Strict definition[edit]
A gill is the headwater valley/gully of a stream, not the stream itself; it'd be tautological to say 'Carlin Gill Valley'.
I say this from personal local knowledge - I know; not good enough for Wikipedia! - but it's supported by the cited documentary sources. --Ministry (talk) 15:28, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
W. Sussex A to Z bears lots of gill fieldnames . . .[edit]
Lacking in bigger placenames but 'gill' is found manifoldly in the smaller fieldnames of Sussex. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:411:1600:9C6F:8C52:FAE2:3586 (talk) 16:54, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
