WYKE, three farms in St Mary Bourne
Old English 'wic'='dependent farm, dairy farm' (1236 'Wikes' possibly represents an early plural, but there are unexplained plural forms of elements like this in early Middle English). We find 1280 'Wyke Prioris' (ie: of the prior of St Swithin, Winchester, who held Hurstbourne Priors) and 1313 'Wyke Daundely' commemorating a lord of the manor with the surname 'd'Andelys'.
