Etymology
Wadbrook (ST 325019), Watebrok 1392 Pat, Wadbrook (Farm )1769DROMap , 1811 OS, Wadbroke 1863 Hutch3, v. brōc , cf. Thomas atte Brouk (e )1327, 1332 SR, John atte Brouk (e )1400Ilch ; first el. uncertain since 'wet brook' from OE wǣt would seem rather tautological (unless contrasting with a 'dry brook'), but cf. the OE pers.n. *Wata assumed for Watnall Nt 147. The situation of Wadbrook close to a crossing of R. Axe (Axe Bridge 6″) invites the possibility that the first el. may be OE wæd 'ford', but early spellings are needed to support this.
