The plains of Chain Hill were held by the King as part of the Royal Estate in Wantage. The current name most likely is a derivative of the French word, ‘Chêne’, meaning Oak. It may have been named in Norman times or possibly much earlier by the daughter of Charles the Bald, king of the West Franks; Princess Judith (Leotheta).
