Welwyn
Welwyn (population 8,425) is a town and civil parish in Hertfordshire, England. The parish additionally consists of the towns of Digswell and also Oaklands. It is sometimes called Old Welwyn to identify it from the much more recent settlement of Welwyn Garden City, regarding a mile to the south, though some locals do not like the pointer of inability or irrelevance that often tends to be suggested by the moniker "Old" and also like Welwyn Town. When stating where they live, citizens will often be asked, 'Welwyn or Welwyn Garden City?', as the latter's title is often reduced to simply Welwyn. To avoid complication, there were strategies to transform Welwyn's name to 'Welwyn Minster' in 1990 yet this consulted with regional resistance and also the concept was abandoned. The name is stemmed from Old English welig meaning "willow", referring to the trees that nestle on the banks of the River Mimram as it moves with the village. The name itself is a development from weligun, the dative form of the word, therefore is much more precisely converted as "at the willows", unlike close-by Willian which is likely to indicate merely "the willows". Via having its name originated from welig rather than sealh (the more typically cited Old English word for willow), Welwyn is perhaps cognate with Heligan in Cornwall whose name is derived from helygen, the Cornish word for willow that shares a root with welig. The neighboring modern village of Digswell (around Welwyn North train station) was originally called 'High Welwyn' when initial developed at the beginning of the 20th century.
