Etymology.
CHILWELL.
The name appears to come from "a cold well," or "the pool containing a spring,"—the flowing well. ("Place Names of Notts.") In Domesday book it is called Cidwelle, Chidewelle, Cillewelle, and Cilwellis. There are in Chilwell a number of springs or places where people go down four or five steps to where pure cold water flows.
Land sales in Newtown and Chilwell began in 1839. The name Chilwell came from James Austin's property at the north-west corner of Latrobe Terrace and Noble Street (1848), named after Chilwell, Nottinghamshire, near where Austin's wife was born.
