Emma's Dike, Witney, Oxon
Emma's Dike is the name of this stream or watercourse which connects with the River Windrush. On at least one modern map it is named Em's Ditch, which seems rather unlikely. Here is it passing between units on the Witney Industrial Estate. The name appears to come from a prominent historical Royal figure of the 11th century. Queen Emma was first married to King Ethelread ("the Unready" and following his death, she was married to the Dane King Knut (Canute). One of her sons by her first marriage became King Edward the Confessor. Queen Emma owned land in Oxfordshire and in 1044 she granted the Bishop of Winchester an estate in Witney and this was confirmed in the Domesday Book. There is a street in Witney named Queen Emma's Dike.

I don't know when this was written but I'm guessing it was while David Cameron was both MP for Witney and prime minister.
