County of the Borough of Berwick upon Tweed
At the epoch of Domesday Book, Berwicka signifies a Village, which
appertained to some town or manor, and as Tothill is called
the Berwick of Westminster in the donation of Edward the
Confessor, the town on the Tweed was called Berwick
of Coldingham - such is the situation of Camden.
We learn from Somer & Lye, the Saxon Glassarists that
Berwicke is the same substance as Baretun. Villa frumentaria
a grange in the Village (Camden). It may have been so called from
its want of Verdure, from its Anglo Saxon, bare, bar, undus & wick
Vicus Castletum Sinus, the curving each of a river. (Chalmers Ciled. P.190)
Some annlists there are, that argue Berwick owes its name to
its being Barre or frontier place to Scotland, & wick a town
This may be an absurd supposition, equally so with the tradition
