About the Item

"View of Chequers Court" is an original pencil, pen, and ink drawing by Fiennes Trotman. This drawing was part of the Rothschild collection, and it features an architectural drawing by Trotman and a print image of the Dairy Lodge at Chequers Court designed by architect. E. B. Lamb. Chequers Court has a long and storied history. It is a 16th century manor house in origin. Lady Mary Grey, great granddaughter of Henry VII, was imprisoned at Chequers for two years by Queen Elizabeth I, after marrying without the monarch's consent. The room where she slept from 1565 to 1567 remains in its original condition. It was gifted to the nation by Arthur Lee in 1917 and has served as the country estate of the British Prime Minister since 1921. According to the text on the bottom of the drawing, the manor was the seat of Robert Greenhill (Russell). He improved Chequers Court by hiring the architect E.B. Lamb. The caption reads "This design, by Mr. E. B. Lamb, exhibits the elevation of a Dairy Lodge, erected at Chequers Court, Bucks, for Sir Robert Frankland Russel, Bart. We commend it from its appropriateness to the object, and as an instance of good taste without pretension." 9" x 11" top art 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" bottom art 23 7/8" x 19" frame

John Chessell Buckler (1793 - 1894) Horham Hall, Essex (1830) Watercolour 25 x 34 cm Signed and dated lower right; titled below. Horham Hall was built in Thaxted, Essex by Sir John Cutte in the early sixteenth century. The original hall was a timber-framed moated manor house built circa 1470, but it was largely demolished by Cutte, who built the present house between 1510 and 1515. Cutte was under-treasurer in the households of Henry VII and Henry VIII. The mansion was built in brick in two storeys in a quadrilateral layout with a gatehouse and incorporated some elements of the former building. The house was visited three times by Elizabeth I as the guest of Sir John Cutte. It is believed that the Tower was built for her to watch the local hunt. It was while staying at Horham in 1578 that the Queen received the envoy of the Duke of Alençon proposing marriage. John Chessell Buckler was a British architect, the eldest son of the architect John Buckler. His work included restorations of country houses and at the University of Oxford. Buckler received art lessons from the painter Francis Nicholson...
