CUMBERWORTH COMBERWORTH	144 0	From the derivation meaning ‘enclosure of a man called Cumbra, or of the Britons’. Possibly derived from an Old English personal name or Old English Cumbre + worth. A Cumberworth is mentioned in the Doomsday Book for Lincolnshire and a Lower & Upper Cumberworth is mentioned in Doomsday for West Yorkshire (Mills 1998 p.106)
COMBERFORD CUMERFORD CUMMERFORD	4 1 1	From the place-name of the same spelling in Staffordshire. From the Old English Cumbre + ford (Mills 1998 p.94)
COMBERTON CUMBERTON	0 18	From the place-name of the same spelling in Cambridgeshire. From the Old English Cumbre + tun meaning ‘Farmstead of a man called Cumbra’ (Mills 1998 p.94). Additionally there are places called Great & Little Comberton in Hereford & Worcester mentioned in the Doomsday Book (Mills 1998 p.94)
COMBELLACK COMBELLES	152 3	From the Devon place-name of Coombelake (Association of British Place Names). Alas not covered by Mills but he might have claimed it to be derived from Coombe + lake meaning valley with a lake.
Total	305
