Etymology
'Weir ford', from wer (wær 1 , waru 1 ) and ford , with magna , micel , grēat . This township represents one of the three divisions of the DB manor of Wareford (cf. Little Warford and Old Warford 335 infra ), which was then in Bucklow Hundred, v. Orm2 i487. The location of the ford is uncertain, but it may have been at Sandle Bridge 334infra .Part of Great Warford formerly abutted upon Ollerton (cf. Old Warford ), because situm molendini in villa de Magna Werford and molendinum de Magna Werford c.1280, c.1290 JRL are described as 'a watermill in the township of Magna Werford , with the site of a mill-dam made or to be made, for the diversion of water to the mill, upon the stream between Magna Werford and Holreton '1319 Orm2 iii585, and this can hardly be Colthurst Mill 330infra .
