Wanborough, in Surrey, at the heaven-water-parting of the Hog's Back, was originally Wodnesbeorh, or the hill of Woden.

Wanborough, in Wiltshire, which divides the valleys of the Kennet and the Isis, has the same origin; as has also Woodnesborough in Kent.

Wonston, in Hants, was probably Woden's stone; Wambrook, Wampool, and Wansford, his brook, his pool, and his ford.

All these names are redolent of that nature-worship which was so marked a portion of the Anglo-Saxon religion.

Godshill, in the Isle of Wight, now crowned by a Christian church, was also probably the site of early Woden worship.
