      It’s old English meaning kind of “uplands near a watery place”. Its an actual place near where I live, about 5 miles south of Newbury, Berkshire, England.

      Andrew Lloyd Webber lives just to the North of it and De Haviland did his maiden flight to the West of it just on the other side of the A34 road.

      The author lived there as a child, interestingly so did the author of Paddington Bear
