Re - CHITTENDEN
CHIT/CHITT - ENG			1. A pet name ( M E Chit Baby, Pert Child, Whelp, Kitten, a Sprout)
			2. The rare Anglo Saxon Personal Name - CITTA. Bel to CHITTENDEN (KENT) Citta’s Valley. (Anglo Saxon CITTANDEN – CITTAN Gen it of CITTA + DENU - A VALLEY.
PLAXTOL - Within living memory - a collection of memories by village people - Sir Richard Knowles;
The Chittenden Charity was known as the ‘Beer and Bibles Charity’ and was held to be for the distribution of beer and bibles but it was really for ‘ten good wheaten loaves’. When I asked about it in my more revolutionary days I was told by somebody ‘Keep your trap shut, it is said that the money was in the care of Richard Knowles of this Parish from 1778’ and I can now understand why you think it was beer and bibles. You ancestors drunk the beer and none of it went on bibles”
