[HPforGrownups] Film locations... Cotswolds/Catswold

Neil, you posted the below, but I couldn't help to see the similarities
between the two worlds (the latter the book by Shirley which I recommended
some time ago).

What does -wold mean as an ending for all those linguist folks on the list?
The coincidence is a bit unusual, so I am assuming that they both are
derived from the same source.

(if you need more information about the book, email me--don't want to spoil
the book for folks; it's a great book!)
