Once you start to notice something, it’s everywhere.
And so yesterday I noticed that the full title of the Master of the Rolls, the Head of Civil Justice, and the second most senior judicial post in England and Wales, after the Lord Chief Justice is The Rt. Hon. Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury (in the county of Dorset).
Of course bury is a very common part of English place names, most probably, according to the OED because it meant, in Old English, a court or a manor-house.
You just can’t get away from the abbot’s abode.
