River Chess



The River Chess is a chalk stream which springs from Chesham, Buckinghamshire and runs through Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, in south-eastern England. The Chess, along with the Colne and Gade, gives rise to the name of the district of Three Rivers, where it forms its confluence with the Colne at Rickmansworth.
The River Chess fall is 60 metres and its length is .
== Etymology ==

Its name arose by back-formation from the name of Chesham. It was once known as the Pittlesburne which incorporates the old word ''burna'' used in the Chilterns to describe a clear spring-fed stream on a lower dip-slope, often with a stony bed. Examples are the rivers Misbourne and Bulbourn, and the river Ver was formerly the Redbourne.〔The Landscape of Place-Names by Gelling & Cole ISBN 1-900289-26-1〕
