Avonwick
Avonwick is a village in the county of Devon, England. It is within the parish of North Huish which had a population of 360 in the 2001 census. The River Avon runs through the village - its name derives from ''avon'' meaning ''river'', and ''wick'' an old word for ''village'',〔(St James' Church Avonwick on the Society of Cornishes website )〕 but it was not so named until the 1870s, previously being known as Newhouse.〔〔Gover, J.E.B., Mawer, A. & Stenton, F.M. (1931). ''The Place-Names of Devon''. English Place-Names Society. Vol viii. Part I. Cambridge University Press. P.303.〕 Avonwick has rapidly grown in size over the last few years with two developments. The village contains one of only a few proprietary chapels remaining in the country,〔 a restaurant,〔(The Turtley Corn Mill )〕 a pub,〔(Avon Inn )〕 one of the oldest lawn tennis clubs in the world,〔(/ Avon Vale Tennis and Croquet Club )〕 a garage and a small shop.〔(Avonwick Shop )〕 Avonwick railway station opened in 1893 about half a mile (1 km) outside the village, but closed in 1963. ==References==
