Ettington
Ettington is a village and civil parish about south-east of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 1,171. The present village is on the A422 main road linking Stratford and Banbury. The A429 main road linking Warwick and Cirencester used to run through the village, and now uses a bypass just west of it. The Fosse Way Roman road (B4455 road) crosses the A422 east of the village. ==Toponym== The toponym "Ettington" is derived from the Old English words ''ea'' for water and ''don'' for ascending ground or meadow. The name has evolved through several forms including ''Eatenden'' and ''Eatington''. The latter is still used sometimes by locals and by Microsoft AutoRoute. There use to be a Lower and Upper Ettington. Lower Ettington was beside the River Stour but was demolished in the 18th century. The present village is what used to be calle Upper Ettington, and is on higher ground about to the northeast.
