  • -wich town

    A "-wich town" is a settlement in Anglo-Saxon England characterised by extensive artisanal activity and trade  an "emporium"  and supplied from outside the protected community. The name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon suffix -wīc, signifying "a dwelling or fortified place". Such settlements were usually coastal and many have left material traces found during excavation.

    Eilert Ekwall wrote: "OE wīc, an early loan-word from Lat vicus, means ‘dwelling, dwelling-place; village, hamlet, town; street in a town; farm, esp. a dairy-farm’. . . . It is impossible to distinguish neatly between the various senses. Probably the most common meaning is ‘dairy-farm’. . . . In names of salt-working towns . . . wīc originally denoted the buildings connected with a salt-pit or even the town that grew up around it. But a special meaning ‘salt-works’, found already in DB, developed."

    As well as -wich, -wīc was the origin of the endings -wyck and -wick, as, for example, in Papplewick, Nottinghamshire.

    Wick (surname)

    An English topographic name for someone who lived in an outlying farm; it is a modern variation of the Anglo-Saxon wic.

    Wick

    by: Secret Garden

    Hey ho, hello there Mary
    Hey ho, hello there
    And why are you in such bad temper
    God is dead Dickon
    This is the most forgotten place I have ever seen
    With lose great branches
    And dead roots and leaves all tangled off on the ground
    Now did you take a real close look at anything
    Mary the strongest roses will fair thrive on being neglected
    If the soil is rich enough
    You mean might be alive, but how can we tell?
    Oh, I can tell if the thing is wick
    Wick, I've heard Ben's a wick
    When a thing is wick, it has a life about it
    Now, maybe not a life like you and me
    But somewhere there's a single streak of green inside it
    Come, and let me show you what I mean
    When a thing is wick, it has a light around it
    Maybe not a light that you can see
    But hiding down below a spark's asleep inside it
    Waiting for the right time to be seen
    You clear away the dead parts
    So the tender buds can form
    Loosen up the earth and let the roots get warm
    Let the roots get warm
    Come a mild day, come a warm rain
    Come a snowdrop, a comin' up
    Come a lily, come a lilac
    Come to call, callin' all of us to come and see
    When a thing is wick
    And someone cares about it
    And comes to work each day
    Like you and me
    Will it grow?
    It will
    Then have no doubt about it
    We'll have the grandest garden ever seen
    Oh, Dickon, I want it all to be wick
    Would you come and look at it with me?
    I'll come every day, rain or shine if you want me
    All that garden needs is for us to come wake it up
    Dickon, what if we save the garden, then uncle
    Archie takes it back, or Colin wants it?
    What a miracle that would be, gettin' a poor
    Crippled boy out to see his mother's garden
    You give a living thing
    A little chance to grow
    That's how you will know
    If she is wick, she'll grow
    So grow to greet the morning
    Leave the ground below
    When a thing is wick
    It has a will to grow and grow
    Come a mild day, come a warm rain
    Come a snowdrop, a-comin' up
    Come a lily, come a lilac
    Come to call, calling all the rest to come
    Calling all of us to come
    Calling all the world to come
    Oh, somewhere there's single streak of green below
    And all through the darkest nighttime
    It's waiting for the right time
