AMWELL (LITTLE), a liberty in that part of the parish of ALL-SAINTS-HERTFORD, which is in the hundred of HERTFORD, county of HERTFORD, 1? mile (S. E. by S.) from Ware, containing 256 inhabitants. Here is a chapel of ease to the vicarage of All Saints. The New River, which supplies so considerable a part of the metropolis with water, has its source in a spring that rises in this liberty, called Emma's Well; of which it is supposed, the name of the place is a contraction.
