Etymology
Asby Winderwath Common, Askeby Wynanderwath 1370 NB 509, 1371 Cl, Ipmet freq to 1392 Cl, AskebyWyndrewath 1369 Cliff 331, Asby Winderwath 1634 NB 293, 1672 NWm 91, 1714RatesE 24d, (-Common ) 1865 OS. The common is a great area of exposed Carboniferous limestone without streams, and no ford is to be found here. It seems probable therefore that Winderwath is a feudal affix from some unidentified family which took its name from Winderwath (ii, 132infra ). It is the south-west part of Asby parish.
