Etymology
Named from R. Winterborne, which rises here, v. RNs.infra ; for the identification of the DB forms, v. Eyton 121–2, VCHDo 393, 105. The affix -Fercles is from the family of Hugh de Fercles , Thomas de Fercles (misspelt -Fereles , -Feroles by Hutch1 1 114–15, Hutch3 1 327–8) which held the manor (or a manor) here in the late 12th or early 13th centuries (cf. Geoffrey de Fercles 1208 P (Essex)). The affix -Moyun is from the family of William de Moion to whom the larger of the two DB manors belonged in 1086 (VCHDo 393), cf. John Mohun 1278, 1286, Reginald de Mayun , Roger de Mayun l13 all Hutch3, and cf. Hammoon par. supra . Houghton is 'Hugh's estate', v. tūn , probably with reference to the Hugh (de Boscherbert) who held the smaller DB manor in 1086 of the wife of Hugh fitz Grip (VCHDo 3105), but possibly with reference to Hugh fitz Grip himself to whom the manor had presumably earlier belonged and who died a1084, cf. Wayhoughton in Broadwey par. 1 201.
