{{other uses|Amble (disambiguation)}}{{coord|50.544|-4.829|display=title}}Chapel Amble ({{lang-kw|Amaleglos}}, meaning church on the river Amble) is a village in the civil parish of St Kew, north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated {{convert|2|mi}} north of Wadebridge next to the River Amble, a tributary of the River Camel, at {{gbmapping|SW 997 754}}.^[1]

The main road through the village crosses the river on a stone bridge with high cutwaters. There is a shop and a pub in the village.

History

Despite being a small village, Chapel Amble appeared in the national press in 2002 after the murder of a local farmer. The fact that a newspaper reporter was a local resident probably assisted in this receiving so much attention. The article dates the village back to at least 1373,^[2] although the earliest written mention of Chapel Amble is in the Domesday Book where 'Amal' was held by Thurstan from Robert, Count of Mortain.^[3]

The earliest record of the name "Amaleglos" is in 1284. The name "Amble" is derived from the Cornish "Amal", i.e. "edge" or "boundary" and is the name of a tributary of the Camel.^[4] As "eglos" is the Cornish for "church" there must already have been a chapel here; in 1383 a chapel of St Aldhelm was licensed.^[5] The Methodist chapel was a United Free Methodist chapel before the reunions of Methodist churches.^[6]
