Makerfield

Where it comes from

Recorded by Bede as Maserfelth (c. 730 AD), apparently a miscopying of Old English *Macerfelth. From Proto-Brythonic *maguɨr (“a wall”) (itself from Latin maceria) + Old English feld (“a field”).

proper noun

An area in northwest England, now split between the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan in Greater Manchester and the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens in Merseyside, both within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire. Keir Starmer has met Andy Burnham for the first time since the Makerfield byelection in what sources said was a “frosty” meeting to thrash out a transition of power.
