Cockfield
Cockfield is a village on the edge of Teesdale, County Durham, in England. It is situated a few miles to the south-west of Bishop Auckland. Remains found on Cockfield Fell suggest there was a settlement in the area in the Iron Age. The parish church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, probably dates from the late 12th century. Coal mining began in the area in the medieval period. From WIKI Also, see page 504.

John LambtonThe story revolves around John Lambton, an heir of the Lambton Estate, County Durham, and his battle with a giant worm which had been terrorising the local villages. As with most myths, details of the story change with each telling. From WIKI
Lamprey
A lamprey (sometimes also called lamprey eel) is a parasitic marine animal with a toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth. Translated directly, their name means stone lickers (lambere = to lick, and petra = stone). While lampreys are well known for those species which bore into the flesh of other fish to suck their blood, these species make up the minority. In zoology, lampreys are often not considered to be true fish because of their vastly different morphology and physiology. From WIKI
Abdul
Abdul (Arabic: عبد ال ), (also transliterated Abdel, `Abd al- (Arabic: عبد ال ), and other ways) is a phrase composed of the word عبد (Abd: servant or slave) and ال (Al: , the prefix meaning "the"); it means "slave/servant of the". The phrase appears as a component of many Arabic and specifically Muslim names, where it is the opening of religiously based names meaning servant of God, where the last component of the name is a name for God, such as "The Creator" etc. The term is combined with one of the Names of God in the Qur'an to form a Muslim Arabic theophoric name. Common examples are Abdul Aziz (Servant of the Almighty), Abdul Rahman (Servant of the Benevolent), and Abdul Rahim (Servant of the Merciful). The name "Abdul Masīh" (عبد المسيح), meaning "servant of the Messiah" is an Arabic Christian equivalent. From WIKI

inviolable
In religion and ethics, inviolability or sanctity of life is a principle of implied protection regarding aspects of sentient life which are said to be holy, sanctified, or otherwise of such value that they are not to be violated. In western religions, the concept is based on the belief that all human beings have souls or are created in God's image. The concept of inviolability is an important tie between the ethics of religion and the ethics of law, as each seeks justification for its principles as based on both purity and natural concept, as well as in universality of application.

if God should allow him victory over the Worm, he would sacrifice unto Him the first living thing he then happen'd to see
Biblical allusion. In Judges 11, Jephthah vowes to sacrifice whoever first comes into his house, should God grant him victory over the Ammonites. It is actually Jephthah's daughter, and the sacrifice is accomplished. Interpretations disagree though on whether "sacrifice" has to be taken literally.
