Could someone point me in the Direction of finding out what all the names of GWR Wagons and vans relate to.

David, they are all in the book GWR Goods Wagons by Atkins, Beard & Tourret.  I have a copy.  Any particular thing you are looking for?

Been a Pro Modeller most of my working days and at 70 decided to build a small GWR Branch but having left the UK 33 years ago and never having Modelled the GWR before, I found the naming of wagon types a little confusing. I just checked the book out a little pricy for my pocket .

Hi David,

Code Names for Great Western Carriage Stock and Vans

They were to my knowledge telegraph codes, so often bear no relationship to their function.
The GWR site is a great source of information (and often modeling inspiration).

Try this Wiki page, codes are towards the bottom of the page. (amazing what you can find with Google)

Great Western Railway wagons - Wikipedia

Good link that Mike.  It explains all.
