Worminghall

Worminghall is a village and civil parish in the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire, England.
The village is beside a brook that forms most of the eastern boundary of the parish. The brook joins the River Thame, which forms the southernmost part of the eastern boundary. The western boundary of the parish also forms part of the county boundary with Oxfordshire. The village is about west of the Oxfordshire market town of Thame.
==Toponym==
The village toponym is derived from Old English meaning "Wyrma's nook of land". The Domesday Book of 1086 records it as ''Wermelle''. It evolved through ''Wormehale'' in the 12th and 13th centuries, ''Wrmehale'' in the 13th and 14th centuries, ''Worminghale'' in the 14th and 15th centuries and ''Wornall'' in the 18th century before reaching its current spelling. "Wornall" (or "Wunnle") is still its common local pronunciation.
J. R. R. Tolkien in his novella ''Farmer Giles of Ham'' suggests (tongue-in-cheek) that the 'worm' element in Worminghall derives from the dragon in the story.
