Cheswardine Hall

Charles Donaldson-Hudson originally had the house built in 1875 according to a design by John MacVicar Anderson. This replaced an earlier partially built house, known as The Hill, Chipnall, that had been purchased by Thomas Hudson, (the great uncle of Charles Donaldson-Hudson) with the Cheswardine Estate circa 1833 In 1950 it was bought by the de La Mennais Brothers, a teaching order from Brittany, who used it as their Juniorate for teaching boys who wanted to become members of their order.
In the late 1960's it was used as an approved school by Mr & Mrs Brunt.
It is now an residential and nursing home owned by the Poole family.
