Wotton, a closed Tube station
Metropolitan
Where the name comes from
Named after Wotton: it was built to serve the Duke of Buckingham's home at Wotton House and the nearby village of Wotton Underwood. Wotton is Old English for "farm near a wood", recorded in 848 as Wudotun; "Underwood" refers to the nearness of Bernwood Forest.
Worth knowing: When a new main line crossed the tramway in 1906, a second station also named Wotton was built next to it, and the two shared a stationmaster.
