The Wyre Piddle Brewery is based about {{convert|1|mi|km}} from the brook from which it takes the names of its beers, such as Piddle in the Hole, Piddle in the Wind, Piddle in the Dark & Piddle in the Snow.[1] In 2009 Worcestershire Wildlife Trust purchased the meadows in Naunton Beauchamp which Piddle Brook flows through.[2] The brook is forded on the road to Naunton Beauchamp at Sea Ford.[3] Origin of the nameWilliam Henry Dugan, in his book Worcestershire Place Names, states that although the word "Piddle" is not listed in any Anglo-Saxon dictionary, it is found in a few places in Anglo-Saxon charters. Dugan believes that the word "Piddle" is an old English word for a small stream. The former Celtic name for the Piddle may have been Wyre, as there is a town on the brook called Wyre Piddle.[1] References1. ^{{cite book |author=Reaney, P.H.|title=The Origin Of English Place-Names|date=1964|publisher=Routledge and Keagan Paul|page=80|accessdate=30 January 2013}} [2][3][4]2. ^1 {{ cite web | url=http://wetroads.co.uk/worcestershire.htm#SeaFord | title=Sea Ford | date=2001-08-10 | publisher=wetroads.co.uk}} 3. ^1 {{ cite web | url=http://www.worcswildlifetrust.co.uk/index.php?section=helping:campaigns | title=Piddle Brook Meadows - success! | accessdate=2011-09-02}} 4. ^1 {{cite web | url= http://www.pub-explorer.com/realale/wyrepiddlebrewery.htm | title=Wyre Piddle Brewery | accessdate=2011-09-02 | publisher=pub-explorer.com}} }} See also
