The name is presumed to derive from Wilighealh, a Saxon name probably relating to willows, mentioned in the Domesday Book as part of nearby Chilcomb. It appears in its modern spelling on a 1575 map by Saxton.[1] Winnall was an ancient parish (incorporating that of St Giles by the late 13th century[2]), but was later absorbed by Winchester, and is not a modern civil parish.
