Etymology

First recorded as Freezywater (1768) and Freezy Water (1819); originally a name of a pond here, so called from its bleak and exposed situation.

Local history

Originally a farm stood in this area in the 18th century, called Freezy Water Farm and the area was later named accordingly. 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.

The church of St George, a large red-brick gothic building designed by JEK and JP Cutts, was built between 1900 and 1906. A planned tower was never constructed. It replaced a temporary iron church on a site next to it which remained in use as a church hall for many years.
