Etymology
Cf. prec. This was the larger of the two DB vills (paying tax for 6 hides), hence later brād 'broad, large' to distinguish it from Little Waddon supra (ThornDB 23, 1). The affix Monks is from its possession in the 13th cent. (v. 1242 Pat, 1288Ass , etc.) by Netley Abbey (Ha) which had acquired it from the Abbey of Montivilliers which held it at the time of DB. The affix Friar (earlier Freren (e )- 'of the friars' alternating with Lat fratrum ) refers to the possession of lands here by the Knights Hospitallers in the 13th cent. (1280Ass , etc.), v. frere (ME wk. gen.pl. -ene ), Hutch3 2 764, VCHDo 2 91 n. 16, cf. Fryer Mayne 1208.
