Editing Addiscombe (section)

==Etymology==
Addiscombe as a place name is thought to be [[Anglo-Saxon]] in origin, meaning "Eadda or Æddi's estate", from an Anglo-Saxon personal name, and the word ''camp'', meaning an enclosed area in [[Old English]]. The same Anglo-Saxon land-owner may have given his name to [[Addington, London|Addington]], around two miles to the south.<ref name="Mills">{{cite book|title=A Dictionary of London Place-Names|first=A.D.|last=Mills|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2010|isbn=9780199566785|page=3}}</ref><ref name="Willey">Willey, Russ.
