Cabaret burlesque, drag shows, or a solo vocalist with a pianist, as well as the venues which offer this entertainment, are often advertised as cabarets. The first known use of the word "cabaret" was in 1655. It is may be derived from the Middle Dutch "cambret", itself probably derived from an earlier form of "chambrette", little room, or from the Norman French "chamber" meaning tavern, itself derived from the Late Latin word "camera" meaning an arched roof. The word "cabaret" came to mean "a restaurant or night club" by 1912. The word "cabaret" was originally Flemish (and possibly Picard before that).
Little Wenlock name "Wenlock" as found in Much Wenlock and Little Wenlock (and also Great Wenlock, a now obsolete name, but found in some historic sources) is probably derived from the Old English "*Wenan loca" meaning ""Wena's Stronghold"" ("wéna" being feminine and meaning ""hope"") The town was recorded in the Domesday Book as "Wenloch". The "Little" of the name distinguishes it from the larger settlement and market town of Much Wenlock, which is situated several miles to the south, on the other side of the River Severn. 11-year-old Alice Glaston from Little Wenlock was hanged together with two men in Much Wenlock
