Higham Gobion in Bedfordshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Flitt.

 

[Calthrop]

There is another village with the "Gobion" suffix, some 25 miles west-north-west of Higham Gobion. This is Yardley Gobion, Northamptonshire, south-east of Towcester. We are told that the second word of Higham G. refers to the Gobion family who resided in the area, following on from the Norman Conquest. Re Yardley G. -- Wiki would seem to do as it sometimes does, i.e. gives something which doesn't obviously make a lot of sense. It would appear to be offering two different and mutually exclusive explanations of the "Gobion" part: that "Henry Gubyun held land in the village in 1228"; and that the word has an (obscure) meaning in "the old tongues", concerning the inanimate -- nothing to do with proper names. ???
