Etymology
'Farmstead or estate in or by the wood', from wudu, widu , tūn . The affix Abbott 's refers to the early possession of this manor by Abbotsbury Abbey (v. Hutch3 2264) and distinguishes it (cf. also Parva 1240) from its larger neighbour, Wootton Fitzpaine par. infra which lies some ⅔ mile SW (Lat abbas, gen.sg. abbatis 'of the abbot', OE abbod, ME abbat). The bounds of the Saxon manor of Wudetune are given in 1044 (m11) Ilch (S 1004): these coincide with the later manorial bounds of Abbott's Wootton shown on 1769DCMMap , as fully discussed by Cyril Hart in DoNHAS 86 161–3. There is mention of capelle de Wudeton in 1224 Hutch3 2269.
