Norwood, Surrey.
_Gospel Place_ (Vol. vii., p. 133.).--In my parish there are two such
places, both on the border of the parish: one is called "The Gospel Oak,"
the other "The Gospel Bush." The traditional explanation of these names is
this:--that at no very ancient date, when the custom of perambulating the
parish was annually observed, portions of the Gospel were read at these and
other places,--_stations_, as they were anciently called.
