Etymology
The place is called Chambers in 1711 (FF) and must take its name from the family referred to as de Camera in 1275 (SR), de la Chambre in 1347 (FA). Presumably they were originally servants of the king's household or of some great lord's. Cf. Chequers (2) and Wardrobes (PN Bk 150, 174, 194).
