Bumpstead Vad efternamn betyder
from Helion Bumpstead and Steeple Bumpstead (Essex) which is recorded as Bunstede and Bomstede in the 12th century. The place-name may derive from Old English bune ‘reed hollow stem flax’ + stede ‘place’. There was perhaps some confusion with Benstead; compare John Bumstead 1563 John Benstead 1594 in IGI (Norton Suffolk); Anne Bumpstead 1628 William Benstead 1632 in IGI (Rattlesden Suffolk).
