Etymology
Wyfields (lost) is Witefeld '1191, 1192 P, Withfeud 1224 Bracton, Withefeld al. Withfelds 1543FF , Withfeilds al. Wyfields al. Whitfeilds t. Jas 1 ChancP, Wyfeldstreete al. ffulkes streete 1609LRMB . Probably 'open country grown over with withies.'Cf. Wyfields infra 157. Thomas, son of Thomas ffuke , is mentioned in connection with Barking in 1272 (Ass ). This may survive in Withers Fd (TA). It is tempting to link the name with uuidmundesfelt (BCS 81) which was somewhere in the neighbourhood, but the evidence is insufficient. In an inspeximus of this charter (1323For ) the name appears as Wymondesfeld .
