Temple Ewell history

---

Temple Ewell was first mentioned by name in a charter of c.772 as Æwille. In the Domesday Book of 1086, it is recorded as having a manor house, five watermills, and about fifty dwellings around a small wooden Saxon church. In 1163, the Knights Templar were granted the manor of Ewell by the crown in recognition of their role in the Holy Land, and the word Temple became prefixed to the village name. The village was then given to the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, and retained by them until King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries in 1540.

Temple Ewell toponymy

The name Ewell is derived from the Old English word ǣwielm, meaning river source or spring, and is so called because one of the sources of the River Dour rises on the village outskirts. The prefix Temple indicates that at one time the village was owned by the Knights Templar.
