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 First World War.[5]


Chetnole is situated on the small River Wriggle which flows north from Hilfield to the River Yeo near Bradford Abbas. There was a school in Chetnole, at the end of School Lane, from 1851 until 1938.[6]



Governance


Chetnole is included in an electoral ward with Yetminster and other surrounding areas. The ward is one of 32 that comprise the West Dorset parliamentary constituency, which is currently represented in the UK national parliament by the Conservative Oliver Letwin.
