Cheswell is a hamlet in Shropshire, England, on the edge of the Weald Moors.
The settlement is overlooked by a rocky, sandstone edge called Cheswell Hill, which gives the place its name. The old name - Chrestill - is thought to mean 'Christ's Hill' or 'the hill with a cross'.
There a number of substantial brick buildings, including the Manor, Grange and Lodge, surrounded by damp, reclaimed farmland.
