Etymology
The form of c. 971 is from the will of Ealdorman Ælfheah of Hants. He leaves 120 hides at Wyrðæ to King Edgar, and his other bequests include an estate at Færndunæ (Faringdon). Littleworth seems the most satisfactory identification for Wyrðæ , but the hidage can hardly have applied to this settlement alone, v. Faringdonsupra .
