Background
History
The house was built around 1716, identifiable by dates on the rainwater heads. Pevsner records Chieveley as one of a range of "grand houses [set] behind high brick walls" on the village's High Street. At the time of its construction the occupants are recorded as a gentleman, his four children, and six servants.
