_Traitors' Ford._--There is a place called Traitors' Ford on the borders

of Warwickshire and Oxfordshire, near the source of the little river

Stour, about two miles from the village of Whichford, in the former

county. What is the origin of the name? There is no notice of it in

Dugdale's _Warwickshire_, nor is it mentioned in the older maps of the

county of Warwick. The vicinity to the field of Edge-Hill would lead one

to suppose it may be connected with some event of the period of the

Civil Wars.
