    3. Dear Listers I have a problem name in a document about Lichfield. It is either Wycsich or Wytsich. The document is 14th century and is in Latin but the place names are English. If anyone would like to see it, I could scan it in for you. We have a problem with the letter c and letter t as they are more or less the same. Audrey
