Editing Chetnole (section)

== History ==
The name "Chetnole" is thought to mean ‘Ceatta’s hillock or hilltop’ from an Old English proper name and 'cnoll'. Chetnole is not mentioned in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 and there is no convincing evidence of a settlement at that time. The Parish Church of St Peter is made up of several different buildings from different time periods: the 13th Century barrel-vaulted nave, the 15th Century tower, the 17th Century porch and the 19th Century chancel. The country house, Nappers, was used as a [[military hospital]] during the [[World War I|First World War]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/13604|title=History of Chetnole in West Dorset {{!}} Map and description|website=www.visionofbritain.org.uk|access-date=2017-07-21}}</ref>

Chetnole is situated on the small River Wriggle which flows north from [[Hilfield]] to the [[River Yeo (South Somerset)|River Yeo]] near [[Bradford Abbas]]. There was a school in Chetnole, at the end of School Lane, from 1851 until 1938.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/c/F206583|title=The Discovery Service|last=Archives|first=The National|website=discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk|language=en-GB|access-date=2017-07-21}}</ref>
