Etymology
Originally an elliptical name '(land) between the rivers', v. be- twēonan, ēa (dat.pl. ēum ), the parish being an isolated one north of the Avon and lying between that river and the Severn; it lies in Gloucestershire as a possession of Winchcomb Abbey and it was partly in Greston Hundred. The post-Conquest form is a late OE folk-name derived from a contracted form of the original p.n., 'folk living in Bituineam ', v. -ingas (esp. EPN i, 300, § 4).
