<QUOTE>ALTON
</QUOTE>
<QUOTE>Old English 'aewielltun'='spring farm'. The
river Wey rises at several points around Alton, and one source
(or all of them) gives its name to the place. It may be the
one which rises at 'Will Hall' whose medieval spellings, in
the dominant tradition, suggest derivation from
'wielle'='spring'. (The 'Wildehel' of 1086 is out on a limb.
The 14th century scribal tradition with 'Wyne-' is an
aberration.) Alton stands on the Chalk just where it meets the
Upper Greensand, and the combination of a steep hydraulic
gradient and the Stockbridge anticline in the Chalk makes for
strong springs (Cole 1985: 7).
</QUOTE>
<QUOTE>The two manors of Alton were known as
'Westbrook' and 'Eastbrook'='west and east of the brook',
being divided by a headwater of the Wey. Both names survive as
house names.
</QUOTE>
<QUOTE>It is possible formally that the first element
is Old English 'awel'='hook', etc in some topographical sense
(cf 'Awliscombe' Devon), but that hardly seems worth
considering in the light of the above.

<QUOTE>a county of England, bounded on the N by
Berkshire, E by Surry and Sussex, S by the English channel,
and W by Dorsetshire and Wiltshire. It extends, exclusive of
the isle of Wight, 42m from N to S, and 38 from E to W.
Including the island it contains 981,120 acres; is divided
into 10 hundreds, and 311 parishes; has one city and 20 market
towns; and sends 26 members to parliament. The number of
inhabitants was 219,656 in 1801, and 245,080 in 1811. This
county has a great variety of soils, but the principal part is
chalk. The Dorsetshire border has large tracts of heath; and
toward the sea are great quantities of marsh land, but very
fertile; and all the remainder is excellent land. It is one of
the most fertile and populous counties in England. On the
downs, of which a ridge runs almosts across the county, are
fed plenty of sheep: but the stock is considerably decreased,
owing to enclosures. Besides wheat, barley, and hops, it is
famous for bacon, honey, and timber; the last in particular,
on account of its great woods, of which the principal are the
New Forest and the forest of Bere. The principal rivers are
the Avon, Test, Itchen, and Stour. Southampton is the
county-town, but the assizes are held at Winchester.

Writers have melted it into Hamteschire, Hamteshire, and

<QUOTE>About 730 'a civitate Uenta quae a gente
Saxonum Uintan caestir appellatur There is no difficulty about
this name as an English name. It represents the Romano British
name 'Uenta' inflected and compounded with Old English
'ceaster'='Roman fort, station, town'. The Romano British form
appears in the Antonine Itinerary: 'Uenta Belgarum' was the
chief place of the Belgae, the immigrant bearers (aristocrats)
of the Iron Age C culture to parts of S Britain.
</QUOTE>
<QUOTE>'Uenta' is a greater problem. It was also the
name of Caister-by-Norwich and Caerwent ('Venta Icinorum,
Venta Silurum') and appears,for instance, in the name of the
fort 'Glannaventa' identified with Ravenglass (Cu). The
element in question is not British and may predate the
P-Celtic languages in Britain. It has Indo European parallels
like 'vend'='place' in Albanian. All we can safely say is that
'Uenta' is a name coined in some Indo European language,
probably meaning '(chief) place (of a tribe)'. This is
discussed in greater detail by Coates (1984a).
</QUOTE>
<QUOTE>The form of the place name current in medieval
documents is the latinized form 'Wintonia' or 'civitas
Wintonia/Wintonie'.

<QUOTE>Winchester, called by the Britains, Caer
Gwent, and by the Romans, Venta Belgarum; a City of great
antiquity, being built by King Rudhudibras about 900 years
before the birth of Christ; in the Romans time it was of note
for being the place where rich embroideries were made for
their Emperours: In the time of the Saxons it was twice
consumed by fire, and by them rebuilt, and made the Royal Seat
of the West Saxon Kings, and the chief Episcopal See; and here
did Egbert and Elfred, their most renowned Monarchs, receive
their Crowns and regal Scepters; and here K. AEthelstane
erected six houses for his Mint: But the Danes over-running
all, this City sufficiently felt their fury in the reign of
King Ethelbright; and in the time of the Normans, after its
misfortune by fire, it was repaired, and honoured with the
keeping of the publick Records of the Kingdome; and lastly it
was sore oppressed in the time of the civil Wars of Maud and
Stephen; but in the reign of King Edward the third, it began
to raise up its drooping head, and was by him appointed the
Mart for Wooll and Cloth. This City is also famous for being
the Sepulcher of so many Kings and Queens: amongst which,
those of most note were Egbert in Anno 836. King Ethelwolfe
son to Egbert, in Anno 857. Elfred the Founder of Oxford, in
Anno 901. Elfwith Queen to Elfred, in Anno 904. King Edmund in
Anno 924, with his sons Elfred and Elfward. King Edred in Anno
955. King Edwy in Anno 956. Emme in Anno 1032, with her Danish
Lord Canute, in Anno 1035. Hardicanute, son to Canute, in Anno
1042. And to conclude, Richard and Rufus of the Normans, in
Anno 1100. It is a City pleasantly seated in a Valley, betwixt
Hills, and on the banks of a delightful River, which after
about ten miles course falleth into an arm of the Sea, on
which Southampton is seated. As to its extent, it is a place
of about a mile and an half in circuit within the walls, which
gives entrance into its Suburbs by four Gates. It is a fair
City, and garnished with good buildings, both publique and
private, though not without waste, and unbuilt ground within
its walls; for Divine worship, hath at present but five Parish
Churches, besides its cathedral ... other buildings of note
are the Bishops Palace, called Woolvey-house. A fine Hall
where the Assizes and Sessions are kept for the County; in
which said Hall hangeth up King Arthurs round Table, which is
kept as a Monument.

like I rather the opinion of Leland: who hath derived it from
the British word Guin or Guen, that is, White, so that Caer
Guin should signifie as much, as the White Citie.
