Jealott's Hill is a village in the county of
Berkshire, England,[1] within the civil parish of Warfield.[2] The settlement is on the A3095 road approximately 3 miles (5 km) north of Bracknell. The nearest railway station is in Bracknell
.
The name of the hill is reported[3] to have derived from the surname of a 14th-century landowner, Roger Jolyl. This name evolved into "Joyliff's Hill" and then, on Henry Walter's Map of Windsor Forest, 1823,[4] became "Jealous Hill". This changed again to "Jealot's Hill" on John Snare's 1846 map[5] and by the 1920s the modern spelling was established.[3]
