Cambridgeshire LodesCambridgeshire lodes – 'Lode' is a common noun which does not need a capital letter. The article does not capitalise 'lode' unless it is part of the name of a specific lode.

I am beginning to come closer to your view, partly by comparison with the Norfolk Broads, which I would capitalise. As I see it, the issue is whether these lodes are a specific network or group. I had concluded they are simply lodes that happen to be in Cambridgeshire, and this was a convenient grouping for a Wikipedia article.
Unfortunately, most of the cited sources are not available online. The 'Ely Ouse Lodes Strategy Study' is available online,[1] and uses a capital L for 'Ely Ouse Lodes'. The lodes discussed in that source seem to the same set as we cover, and that might be a better name for this article. Verbcatcher (talk) 08:51, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
