Interesting Facts About Chigwell

History of Chigwell

In medieval sources the name appears with a variety of spellings including “Cinghe uuella” and Chikewelle”. Folk etymology has sought to derive the name from a lost “king’s well”, supposed to have been to the south-east of the parish near the border of what is now the London Borough of Redbridge. There were several medicinal springs in Chigwell Row documented by Miller Christy in his book History of the mineral waters and medicinal springs of the county of Essex, published in 1910. The 18th-century historian Nathaniel Salmon stated that the “-well” element in the name derives from Anglo-Saxon weald.
