Vill   Listen
noun
Vill  n.  A small collection of houses; a village. "Every manor, town, or vill." "Not should e'er the crested fowl From thorp or vill his matins sound for me." Note: A word of various significations in English, law; as, a manor; a tithing; a town; a township; a parish; a part of a parish; a village. The original meaning of vill, in England, seems to have been derived from the Roman sense of the term villa, a single country residence or farm; a manor. Later, the term was applied only to a collection of houses more than two, and hence came to comprehend towns. Burrill. The statute of Exeter, 14 Edward I., mentions entire-vills, demivills, and hamlets.

The need of protection was probably the usual reason for establishing a town with a wall about it, so that the neighboring country people might find safety in it when attacked. The way in which a medival town was built seems to justify this conclusion. It was ...
