According to The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England by Robert Charles Hope (1893),‘Keld is the old Saxon name for a spring or a well. In Cottingham are some intermittent springs bearing this name, which are supposed by many to be regulated in their very irregular periods of activity and repose by the flowing of the Derwent, although that river is twenty miles distant. “When Derwent flows, Then Keldgate goes.”
