Description

Chequers ou Chequers Court est la résidence de villégiature du Premier ministre du Royaume-Uni, située à Ellesborough, aux pieds des Chilterns, dans le comté du Buckinghamshire.

Ce manoir du XVIe siècle fut successivement la propriété de différentes familles de l'aristocratie terrienne anglaise. En 1912, il est acquis par le vicomte Arthur Lee et son épouse. Au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, la demeure sert d'hôpital militaire, puis de maison de convalescence pour les officiers. À la fin de la guerre, le couple Lee, alors sans enfant, décide de mettre en vente le manoir et son domaine. Après de longues discussions avec le Premier ministre David Lloyd George, la nation décide de l'acquérir grâce au Chequers Estate Act 1917.
