Irchester history
Chester Farm is one mile (1.6 km) north of Irchester, with the A45 road to its south and the River Nene to the north. Mesolithic flints have been found, with signs of later prehistoric settlement and a “nationally important” walled Roman town. The Roman name of the settlement has been lost, but there is evidence of buildings, a cemetery, occupation outside the town walls and a causeway across the Nene floodplain. A Roman-Celtic temple was recorded inside the town boundary.
Possible medieval identification
The 12th-century English historian Henry of Huntingdon mentions a Roman “town on the river (Nene), in Huntingdonshire, which is entirely destroyed” Henry names the town Dormchester, which he translates from the Celtic as Kair-Dorm. The “-Dorm” element may denote water (Dwr in modern Welsh and a common place-name root throughout England) If so, the name may have continued in English as Chester-on-the-Water.
