  • Grimsby - In Domesday, Gimesbi. There are many vilages in the area starting with "Grim" so it is possible that they all came under the control of someone called Grim. Grim was also a pseudonim for the Norse god Odin so that possibility also exists. Odin was also known to the Algles as Woden which is where we get "Woden's Day" (Wednesday).
