Marked as ‘Dormans Well’ on Gary's map of 1786 and as ‘Dormans Wells’ on the Ordnance Survey map of 1822, earlier ‘Dermodeswell’, ‘Dennundeswell 1235, ‘Dormandeswell’ 1571, that is 'spring or stream of a man called Deormod or Deormund', from Old English ‘wella’ and an Old English personal name. There is a small stream here flowing into the River Brent. It might be noted that the plural form Wells is a relatively recent development. Well supposed to be medicinal.
