_Chelwoldesbury_ (Vol. v., p. 346.).--Allow me to suggest to your

correspondent W. H. K. the possibility that the name in question may

originally have been Ceolwoldsburh or Ceolweardesburh, i.e. _the burgh_

or _castle of Ceolwold_ or _Ceolweard_, analogously with Brihthelmstûn,

now contracted into _Brighton_. The A.-S. _ce_ has constantly been

corrupted into _che_.
