释义 | sea-coaln.ΚΠ c1050 in T. Wright & R. P. Wülcker Anglo-Saxon & Old Eng. Vocab. (1884) I. 416/2 Gagates, sæcol. 2. a. A name for mineral coal (‘coal’ in the ordinary modern sense) as distinguished from charcoal. Now historical.Commonly explained as meaning ‘coal brought by sea’. But carbo maris occurs in the Newminster Cartulary (Northumberland) c1236 (see quot. c1236); and in 1306 a Glamorganshire document ( Inquis. Post Mortem, Ioan. de Clare, 35 Edw. I) speaks of ‘unus puteus in quo fodiuntur carbones maris’. Unless we suppose that the documents were written by Londoners, or (what is very unlikely) that the London term had been adopted in the coal-producing regions themselves, these early examples appear to point to some different explanation. Possibly in early times the chief source of coal supply may have been the beds exposed by marine denudation on the coasts of Northumberland and South Wales. Cf. quot. a1552. The name of Seacoal lane, London (Secollane), occurs 1339 in Riley Memorials Lond. 207.
