Another *Wifelingahām is next to Stow & Ingham; latter is possibly 'the estate of the devotees of the deity Ing'...: http://www.caitlingreen.org/2014/10/willinghams-and-inghams.html …pic.twitter.com/64Bbsed3dp
A little further west in Nottinghamshire there is Teversal, possibly an Anglo-Saxon 'Sorcerer's Stronghold' :) See http://www.caitlingreen.org/2014/11/sorcerers-stronghold-tolkien.html …pic.twitter.com/zE8tQaGkRh

The monstrous names in the landscape are also worth noting, such as Trowlers Gill/Trollers Gill, West Yorkshire: 'the troll's arse ravine'…pic.twitter.com/aZdROv8tC2
And not forgetting Nicarpool, Lincoln, where the Great Gowt meets Sincil Dyke, from OE nicor, 'water-monster' :) See http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/12/the-monstrous-landscape-of-medieval.html …pic.twitter.com/III4k5yHv1
Thurspit, Alvingham (1579), on the edge of the Outmarsh — ON þurs, 'giant/ogre' etc, cf. hrímþursar, 'frost giants': http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/12/the-monstrous-landscape-of-medieval.html …pic.twitter.com/1L3cylmf4E
