Ecclesfield, Sheffield.

It is rather curious that the word _wright_ for _carpenter_ is still

commonly used in Scotland, but that _Sievewright_ is the only _surname_

in which it appears in that country; while in England it is found in

several, although the word itself is there obsolete, unless it is still

to be found in the northern counties.
