CHIDDINGFOLD PARISH

Introduction

Chiddingfold is a village and civil parish in the Weald in the Waverley district of Surrey, England. It lies on the A283 road between Milford and Petworth. The parish includes the hamlets of Ansteadbrook, High Street Green and Combe Common. Chiddingfold Forest, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, lies mostly within its boundaries. The name of Chiddingfold 'Chadynge's fold', Chiddingefoulde, is derived from the Saxon, probably meaning the fold (enclosure for animals) "in the hollow". Chiddingfold has an historic link to glass-making. John Aubrey, the 17th century antiquary, mistakenly claimed there were no fewer than eleven glassworks in Chiddingfold,[citation needed] however, as Kenyon states in his authoritative ‘The Glass Industry of the Weald’, Leicester University Press 1967, p.7, there were probably no more than twelve in the whole of Surrey.
