I was also told that "Acc" related to acorns or oak trees and that "Acc ring" meant a ring of oak trees or the implication that the "ton" or town was surrounded by oak trees. Acc ring ton = Oak encircled town.

I was also told that Oswaldtwistle was the land belonging to Oswald and that it literally meant "Oswald's boundary"
