_Vineyard_ (Vol. ii., pp. 392. 414. 446. 522.).--In reference to the
subject of the name "Vineyard" being still applied to certain places in
England, it may be curious to note that the little village of _F_ingest,
on the borders of Oxon and Bucks, was formerly called _V_ingest; and a
farm in the same parish, now known as the _F_ineing, appears on an old
tablet in the church as "the Vineing." I should add that the country
around is full of steep sunny slopes; and would be, in a warmer climate
admirably adapted for vines.
