Equine

Reassured by this Anglican church with an open door, I stopped for the night in a town called Horsham.  Since Gotham means “goat home” I wondered if Horsham meant “horse home”.  The town does have racetrack, after all.

But apparently it was named after the Horsham in England…whose name means either “horse home” or “Horsa’s home” (as in a Saxon warrior named Horsa whose home was there.)
