The Pub History Sitemap

Chequers, Netteswell

The pub stayed in the same family from at least 1841 when William Wingfield is on the census as being the publican, to at least 1933, when his great grandson Richard James Hasler is recorded in Kelly's directory as being the publican. 
The pub passed from William Wingfield to his son-in-law George Clements (married to William's daughter Martha Wingfield).  George Smith is the next recorded publican. He is the son of Charles Smith & Susannah Wingfield (also a daughter of William). George's widow, Emily, took over the pub after his death. 
In 1914, Richard Smith, brother of George Smith, is the publican. Then in 1917 it is Sarah Ann Hasler (nee Smith, sister of George & Richard) 
I'm not sure how William Hasler, who is recorded as the next publican, fits in, it's possible he is Sarah's son or her brother -in-law . In 1933, Richard James Hasler is there, and I know that he is definitely the son of Sarah Ann Hasler.

Taken by Diane & David Guest

This private residence was the Chequers up until the late 1940's/early 1950's when Harlow New Town was developed. The Chequers then moved to a new building next door and has recently been renamed Mr Q's.

Apologies for the delay in updates at present, but I suffer from BT Infinity. BT Infinity appear to have a severe shortage of trained engineers, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far. The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit. I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
