does anyone know anything of this name, and what it means?

Walled Dyke.

No no!

You're all wrong and I'm right!

"Wale" as in the Saxon word for foreigner (As in those smelly Celtic chaps we've displaced in order to found En-gur-land, so we can be frustratingly crap at football a millenium and a half from now).

"dich" as in ditch or dyke, or other earthen barrier that an unsuspecting Saxon might happen to fall in while exploring a new area of his/her new homeland.

No no!
