Etymology
Rill Coombe(Down)(probably to be identified with Rewl(e)comb(e) 1449, 1452, Rewelcomb(e)1478; cumb'valley' may have been added to an earlier name Rew(e)l(e)from a misdivision of ME atter ewelle'(place) at the spring', v. atter,ǣwell(for the OE(wk.) fem. form welle, v. EPN 2 250); the unexplainedRewlea D 465(Reylecomb 1330, Rewlacomb 1583) may be analogous, thoughhere the first spelling would seem to suggest derivation from rǣge'roe,female roe-deer')
