History of The Chequers
Fanny Wale described in ‘Shelford Parva’ the rather complicated history of the Chequers and nearby buildings. At some point the ale-house and nearby cottages burned down. Thomas Austin rebuilt the ale-house and put up a painted sign on a post, thus naming it The Chequers.’ Henry Mansfield managed the pub for some years.
