Wivelshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(Redirected from East
(Cornish hundred)) Sketchmap of the Looe riversEast Wivelshire and
West Wivelshire (usually known merely as East and West) are two of
the ancient Hundreds of Cornwall.East and West (Wivelshire) must
have originally had a Cornish name but it is not recorded - see
Lost wydhyel; the second element gwydhyow[1] meaning 'trees' -
(Wivel may also be from an Anglo-Saxon personal name 'Wifel').[2]
There are also Anglican deaneries by the same names, but the modern
boundaries do not correspond exactly. The area must have formed one
hundred originally but had already been divided into two before the
Norman Conquest: they are grouped in Domesday under the head manors
of Rillaton (East) and Fawton (West). The Cornish names are Ryslegh
(East) and Fawy (West).[3][4]
