I wonder if Sewalmedowe contains a personal name. OE Saewald comes to mind.

Many books on English place-names make the comment that the names Seven
Springs and Nine Wells are common, but do not provide the evidence to
back up this claim. I am collecting such evidence here:

I would appreciate any further contributions.
