What does "it" refer to?  Where have you found that string of letters?

No document from that era would have used an initialism like that.  Most likely a place name like Worth which a transcriber couldn't read.
Rutter, Sampson, Swinerd, Head, Redman in Kent.  Others in Cheshire, Manchester, Glos/War/Worcs.
