Name of the pub[edit]

Decades ago I had a few drinks in "The Piltdown Man" pub. But Google doesn't find it any more and redirects me to "The Lamb Piltdown". Looking at the Street View image, it seems clear that it's the same place. But I can't go by to confirm. Can somebody local check and update the page?

origin of nane: Pilt[edit]

The Dictionary of Sussex Place Names (Author Richard Coates, Publisher University of Bristol 2017) has the following for Piltdown.

Piltdown or Pilt Down (TQ 4421, in Fletching). Pylkedowne 1455 Ct, Pyltedowne 1564. Mawer and Stenton suggest ‘Pīl(e)ca’s hill’, from a hypothetical personal name or a diminutive form derived from pīl ‘point, arrow’, which is perhaps recoverable from other place-names such as Pilkington (Lancashire).

"... “down” names in this part of the Wealden area refer to land which was not enclosed into fields but remained as open pasture land until relatively late in the medieval period, usually because they had the poorest soils in the area..." 2607:FA49:6841:B900:9C77:10EF:E5C7:CD89 (talk) 13:26, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
