River Wheelock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Wheelock is a small river in Cheshire in north west England. It drains water from the area between Sandbach and Crewe, and joins the River Dane at Middlewich (grid reference SJ693669), and then the combined river flows into the River Weaver in Northwich.
It is called "Whelocke" in Holinshed's Chronicles of 1578 and "Hoiloch" in the Domesday Book. Its name came from a Celtic word meaning "winding" (Welsh: 'chwylwrch').
It gave its name to the large village of Wheelock.
