© Badgerwood 2001 "No, up and out of doors is good enough to roam about and get one's living in; but underground to come back to at last - that's my idea of home the Mole assented heartily; and the Badger in consequence got very friendly with him. "When lunch is over" he said, "I'll take you round this little place of mine. I can see you'll appreciate it. You understand what domestic architecture ought to be, you do."
From the book: The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame originally published 8th October 1908 by Methuen & Co Ltd; 1971 Edition published by Methuen Children's Books Ltd pp.80,81.

What's in a name? The name Badgerwood should be seen as meaning a badger in the wood and has an interesting etymology: brock
{Old English broc(c) from Celtic base of Welsh, Cornish broc, Brecon broc'h, Irish, Gaelic broc, Old Irish brocc} meaning A badger. OE.
hurst {Old English hyrst, Old High German hurst.} meaning A wooded hillock or rise; a copse, a wood. OE.
(Reference: Shorter Oxford English Dictionary)
Hence Brocklehurst = Badgerwood.
