Chevalliers of Aspall Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chevalliers of Aspall Hall are a wealthy, noble and prestigious well-known family in Britain. They were particularly celebrated in the 18th century. Descendants of the family still exist.

Originally from the Channel Islands, near the French Northern Coast, they moved to Suffolk, England in the second half of the 17th century where they bought 300 acres (1.2 km²) of land, and an English-style manor, Aspall Hall.

Descendants, through Lady Mary Dumaresque de Carteret, from Adelaide of Normandy, sister of William the Conqueror and the dukes of Normandy, and wife of Clement Chevallier, and, through Jane Garneys of Mickfield's ancestry, from Edward I of England and Eleanor of Castille are well known. Elizabeth de Clare is another relative.
