Welwyn
Welwyn (population 8,425) is a village and also civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. The parish likewise consists of the towns of Digswell as well as Oaklands. It is occasionally called Old Welwyn to differentiate it from the much newer settlement of Welwyn Garden City, about a mile to the south, though some locals dislike the recommendation of inability or irrelevance that tends to be indicated by the moniker "Old" as well as prefer Welwyn Village. When stating where they live, locals will frequently be asked, 'Welwyn or Welwyn Garden City?', as the latter's title is frequently shortened to just Welwyn. To avoid complication, there were strategies to alter Welwyn's name to 'Welwyn Minster' in 1990 yet this consulted with neighborhood resistance as well as the concept was deserted. The name is stemmed from Old English welig significance "willow", referring to the trees that snuggle on the financial institutions of the River Mimram as it flows via the town. The name itself is an advancement from weligun, the dative form of the word, and so is more exactly converted as "at the willows", unlike nearby Willian which is likely to indicate merely "the willows". With having its name derived from welig as opposed to sealh (the extra frequently cited Old English word for willow), Welwyn is possibly cognate with Heligan in Cornwall whose name is stemmed from helygen, the Cornish word for willow that shares a root with welig. The neighboring contemporary village of Digswell (around Welwyn North railway station) was initially called 'High Welwyn' when very first developed at the beginning of the 20th century.
