On the site of princely Chatsworth stood the homestead of Chetal, the Saxon, who was lord of the manor before the Norman Conquest; the ancient name of Chetesvorde (or, as Lysons says it should be, Chetelsvorde) bearing evidence of such a fact. Could we have known Lysons we would have submitted that this was simply the omission of the letter “1” by that dexterous scribe whose penmanship still excites curiosity after eight hundred years. Some three centuries subsequent to the Norman subjugation, there arose the half stone and timber residence of the Leches,which Sir William Cavendish purchased from the Agards about 1556-7, and evidently pulled down to build the edifice of which there is a painting extant.
