@caitlinrgreen very intriguing post :) randomly, Wicca Pool (w of St Ives, Cornwall! ) came to mind; also the Wych Elm, British native tree
@CatherineEsse Thanks! Ah, never visited that! Similar form but alas different etymology---OE wice vs hwicce!
@caitlinrgreen also, thought of Hitchin, Herts (my home for 20yrs) - derived from C7th Hicce Saxon tribe, I gather - no connection? :)
@CatherineEsse Alas, again no connection! Poss Celtic origin, according to Ekwall... This well worth a read, btw :)https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ztqCoaEtehsC …
@caitlinrgreen thanks! - will check that out, as distraction ;) - final random thought - Wych Farm, Dorset (largest inland oil well!)
@CatherineEsse I fear yet another similar but different form, form has origins in OE for dairy etc farm, wic, if I recall correctly!
@caitlinrgreen so, every which way but ... :D thanks for all this!
