Description

Chequers, o Chequers Court, es una casa de campo situada cerca de Ellesborough, al sureste de Aylesbury en el condado de Buckinghamshire, en Inglaterra, a los pies de las Colinas Chiltern. Es la casa de campo del primer ministro del Reino Unido.

La casa original se ganó probablemente su nombre en la década de 1100 debido a que pudo haber sido construida o habitada por un individuo llamado Elias Ostiarius , que estaba adquiriendo tierras por la zona en aquella época. El nombre de “Ostiarius” significaba que era un ujier de la Corte del Tesoro. El escudo de armas de Elias Ostiarius incluye el tablero del Tesoro, por lo que es bastante probable que pusiera el nombre de la posición que ocupaba en la corte y de su escudo de armas a sus propiedades. La casa pasó de generación en generación por la familia De Scaccario hasta que pasó a la familia D’Awtrey, cuyo nombre se anglicanizó a Hawtrey.
