Until recently it was thought to come from the French word 'salle' meaning a hall but there is no evidence to support this. Etymologists suggest that the name of the village could have come from the Anglo-Saxon word 'sole' or 'sol' meaning a 'muddy slough, wallowing place' or a 'muddy pond that overflows'. Seal still has a pond at the fork at the bottom of Park Lane which tends to overflow at the present day. Another possibility is Anglo-Saxon <i>sēale</i> = "group of <a href="/wiki/Sallow" class="mw-redirect" title="Sallow">sallow</a> trees".<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:St._Peter_and_St._Paul,_the_parish_church_of_Seal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_940391.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/St._Peter_and_St._Paul%2C_the_parish_church_of_Seal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_940391.jpg/200px-St._Peter_and_St._Paul%2C_the_parish_church_of_Seal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_940391.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/St._Peter_and_St._Paul%2C_the_parish_church_of_Seal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_940391.jpg/300px-St._Peter_and_St._Paul%2C_the_parish_church_of_Seal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_940391.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/St._Peter_and_St._Paul%2C_the_parish_church_of_Seal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_940391.jpg/400px-St._Peter_and_St._Paul%2C_the_parish_church_of_Seal_-_geograph.org.uk_-_940391.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="467" /></a><figcaption>St Peter and St Paul's church</figcaption></figure> <p>Seal's church, the oldest parts of which date from the 13th Century, is dedicated to St Peter and St Paul and is a grade I listed building.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The ecclesiastical parish only became separate from <a href="/wiki/Kemsing" title="Kemsing">Kemsing</a> in 1874, although there may well have been a <a href="/wiki/Saxons" title="Saxons">Saxon</a> church on the site of the present building.
