Wetwang II

Sarah asked why had I not googled Wetwang, so here it goes.

It is recorded in the Domesday Book as Wetuuangha. There are two interpretations of this. One is that it probably comes from the Old Norse vaett-vangr, 'field for the trial of a legal action'. Another theory is that it was the "Wet Field" compared to the nearby dry field at Driffield. It has been hypothesised that the unlocated Romano-British town of Delgovicia is located at Wetwang.
