Accrington is NOT named after a ring of acorn trees. THAT is STUPID.

Accra was a Saxon Lord his christian name was Inga and the village was a Tun.
Examining documents in the public record office in London shows Accrington with a variety of spellings, but by 1530 it was Accrington in most documents. I have at least 200 pages of material on the town from early times till 1666.
