 GENUKI: Bugsworth, Derbyshire
Attempts to change the name, prompted by the villagers' rebellion against a town named after 'bugs', or pestilence, began in 1874.
The names 'Lymedale', or 'Limedale' were proposed; Buxworth was suggested as early as 1900-01, but it wasn't until 1929/30 that agreement locally was reached, and 1935 before the name was changed officially by the Derbyshire County Council to Buxworth.
Due to either a late-1990s embracing of all things 'organic', bugs and all, or the perverseness of human nature, an attempt was made to rename the village to Bugsworth for the Millennium, which went so far as a village referendum taking place.
