Wivelsden Fm

Early-attested site in the Parish of Chailey

Etymology

Wivelsden Fm has not been found in early records, but the place is only two miles from Wivelsfield infra 305 and no doubt contains the same pers. name for its first element. It may even be the second of the two Wivelsfields of BCS 197.
