WIKESTAN. A
Norman form of Anglo-Saxon Wigstan (q.v.), meaning "war
stone."
... The D.B. spelling of Wichestan
evidently represents Wikestan, a Norman form of the common A.S.
name Wigstan or Wihstan, compounded of wīg, war,
and stān, stone. The A.S. hs is often replaced by
x, so
that the later form of Wixton accurately represents Wihstan.
In the A.S. Chronicle, under the date of 800, Wihstan is also spelt
Weohstan and Weoxtan. The name Wixamtree means "Wigstan's
tree." (The
Place-names of Bedfordshire, Skeat, 1906).
