Etymology
Named from R. Winterborne, cf. Winterborne Z. par. supra .For the possible DB identification, v. Eyton 121–2, DBGazetteer 129, cf. VCHDo 3135. The affix Thom ', Thomaston , etc is probably manorial in origin, although the Thomas in question has not been noted, v. tūn ; however, the form Winterburn ' Tome Malfillastre 1204 P may belong here. The later affix -Pegges is no doubt from the family of P (u )eg which gave its name to Pegg's Fm (formerly a manor) in Iwerne M. par. infra ; like Winterborne Tomson, this manor was later held by the Hussey family, v. Hutch3 1195, 3540.
