词源

First attested as Cæstæleshamm before the year 970, probably from Old English castel (“pile of stones, castle”) + hamm (“water meadow”). By surface analysis, Chess + -ham, whence the local pronunciation, referring to the River Chess in Buckinghamshire, though the river was named after the settlement.
