Anglo-Saxon Origins

Both Greenwich and Ipswich demonstrate their Anglo-Saxon origins by the -wich ending.

Ipswich was originally called Gippeswyk. There is still a park called Gippeswyk Park. Over time Gippeswyk has become Ipswich.

Other places in East Anglia and Kent ending -wich are:

  • Norwich, Norfolk

  • Dunwich, Suffolk (now mainly lost into the North Sea)

  • Harwich, Essex
