CHAWTON
Ekwall takes a form about 1230 'Chalvedone' to refer to Chawton; if so the place is Old English 'calves' hill'. For Chawton such a spelling is unique in two ways, and Gover believes it is not for Chawton anyway. More likely this is hypothetical Old English 'Cealctun'='chalk farm'; Chawton is on the chalk downs. Compare CHALTON; but the sequence of spellings is different for the two places.
