The name Cheeseway is first mentioned in 1316 and relates to a lost medieval settlement to the east of Honiton. There is some uncertainty over its location; it is placed at various locations on 18th and 19th century maps. Donn’s map of 1765, however, places it alongside the road from Honiton towards Monkton. The name Cheeseway may indicate a gravel trackway of ancient origin, from which the settlement later took its name. The present site of Cheeseway Ash, by the crossroads is modern but it formerly lay on Old Chard Road, which may suggest that the Roman road lay on the higher ground.
