Chesworth House is a Tudor manor house, located a mile south of Horsham, West Sussex, England. The manor of Chesworth originally belonged to the de Braose family. Edward II apparently stayed at Chesworth in 1324. After this it was held by the Mowbray and the Howard (later Fitzalan-Howard) families, including the Dukes of Norfolk and Earls of Arundel. Catherine Howard spent her childhood at Chesworth. Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, was arrested at Chesworth; he was executed for high treason in 1572 after which the Crown took ownership of the estate. Chesworth House was then occupied by various tenants, including the Bishop of Chichester (1577–82) and the Caryll family (c. 1586-1660). Queen Henrietta Maria lived there1660-61 and Catherine of Braganza from 1674 until 1699. The manor was later owned by the Eversfield family. In 1928 the house was bought by a Captain C. R. Cook who extended it and relaid the moated gardens, incorporating part of the river Arun which runs through the grounds. Subsequent owners included the theatrical agent Laurence Evans and the barrister Eben Hamilton. In 2012, Chesworth House was put on sale for offers over £7million. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chesworth House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
