Earlier Houses: There was an earlier house on, or near, the site of the current house.
Built / Designed For: Henry Jermyn
House & Family History: Cheveley resembled Horseheath Hall (demolished), which was built ten years earlier (in the 1660s). Cheveley was demolished piecemeal: the 18th century wings were demolished 1857-58; the Burn House was demolished circa 1892; and Edis House, the last remaining element, was demolished in 1926. The house was stripped of its contents in 1920, and in 1925 the Banquet Hall’s oak panels and fireplace were installed in the University Arms hotel ballroom in Cambridge, and a fireplace in its octagonal lounge.
Collections: A painting of Cheveley by Jan Siberechts, 1671, is today in the collection of Belvoir Castle.
