Wivenhoe
Wivenhoe is a town and civil parish in north eastern Essex, England, approximately south east of Colchester. Historically Wivenhoe village, on the banks of the River Colne, and Wivenhoe Cross, on the higher ground to the north, were two separate settlements but with considerable development in the 19th century the two have merged.
At the 2001 census, the town had a population of over 7,221, increasing to 7,637 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Town population 2011 )〕 The town's history centres on fishing, ship building, and smuggling.
Much of lower Wivenhoe is also a designated conservation area, with many streets being of particular architectural interest.
==Etymology==
The place-name ''Wivenhoe'' is Saxon in origin, deriving from the personal name ''Wifa's'' or ''Wife's'' spur or promontory (hoe). The place-name is now usually pronounced 'Wivvenho', but the Essex accent would traditionally have rendered it as 'Wivvenhoo'. The town's parish church, St. Mary the Virgin, is of Saxon origin though the present building is largely Victorian. According to folk etymology, the name derived from "Wyvernhoe" , originating from the mythical beast called a wyvern and the previously mentioned ridge (hoe). The town's football team, Wivenhoe Town FC, is nicknamed 'The Wyverns'.
