Editing Lambeth (section)

===Toponymy===
The origins of the name of Lambeth come from its first record in 1062 as ''Lambehitha'', meaning 'landing place for lambs', and in 1255 as ''Lambeth''. In the [[Domesday Book]], Lambeth is called "Lanchei", which is plausibly derived from Brittonic Lan meaning a river bank and Chei being Brittonic for a quay.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Wheatley|first1=Henry Benjamin|last2=Cunningham|first2=Peter|author-link1=Henry B.
