(English) Dweller at a Stile [Old English stigel] John atte Stile.—Hundred Rolls
Richardson says-"steps raised to pass over," which is perhaps as good a definition as could be given in so small a number of words; but the styles which are ' passages over a fence so contrived as that cattle cannot make use of them '-as the word might be more elaborately defined-differ nearly as much inter se in different districts, as do the styles of different authors. There is, however, no doubt that the surname, whether it originated in Sussex, in Cornwall, or in Northumberland, (whose thruff-stone styles I shall never forget) was derived from the residence of the first hearer near such a barrier. In the middle ages, the phrase "John at Style" was in common use to denote a plebeian, and it still survives in a slightly altered form in the saying, "Jack Noakes and Tom Styles." See Noakes. H.R. Ate Stile. De la Stile.
A very common name "At the Style"—John Atte Style—John Styles. (See Noakes.)
