[edit] Local History
Originally a farm stood in this area in the 1700s, called Freezy Water Farm and the area was later named accordingly. [1] During World War II Chesterfield School was hit by a V1 flying bomb aimed for the Royal Small Arms Factory, approximately 1.5 miles due east of the school. There was only one fatality within the school grounds, a teacher looking for her school children. [2]
