Chaldecott Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A palatalized form of Calde­cott, q.v.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

There are many localities in England bearing this name, and there is also a Caude-Cote in Normandy. Like Cold-Harbour, about which so much has been written, the Caldecots are said to lie principally in the vicinity of Roman roads. "It is a singular fact," says the Rev. John Taddy, "that wherever we have traces of a Roman road, we find hamlets in the near neighbourhood of it of the name of Caldecott. I could quote abundance of such." Papers of the Architect. Soc. of Northampton, York, Lincoln, and Bedford, Vol. II., page 429. The Caldecotts of Rugby claim from Calcot or Caldecote, co. Chester, of which place their ancestors were mesne lords in the time of the Conqueror. B.L.G.
