Loan
- before the enclosing of fields, a loan was a strip of grass of varying breadth that ran through arable farmland, often linking it with the common grazing ground of the community. This land served as a pasture, a driving road and a milking place for cattle, and as a common green. Names like Loanend and Loanheid indicate the extremities of a loan. This term also gave rise to the expression loan-soup, which was milk taken freshly from a cow and given to strangers who happened upon the loan at milking-time.
