Gammerstang commented on the word cockwalk
(noun) - A fine or blackmail levied on a man who courts a woman residing out of the limits of his own parish. If this be a survival of an ancient practice or custom, it would appear that neither exogamy marriage with nonlocals nor "marriage by capture" were usual at a remote period in this district; but that, on the contrary, the villagers did not, in general, marry outside the limits of their own kindred by blood. --Sidney Addy's Glossary of Words Used in the Neighbourhood of Sheffield, 1888
