Background
History
A settlement of 42 households at Chivele was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, when the land was held by Ernulf de Hesdin. His son, also Ernulf, held the manor in 1130; it passed through various hands until it was sold in 1560 by Henry, Earl of Arundel to Richard Lambert, a grocer of London. His brother's grandson sold the manor to William Beach in 1681. In 1790 the estate was inherited by Henrietta Maria Beach; she married Michael Hicks of Beverston Castle, Gloucestershire, who took the additional surname of Beach. Their grandson W. A. Hicks Beach sold the property in 1911.
