Chatsworth
near Bakewell, Derbyshire - Duke of Devonshire
"The situation of Chatsworth is exceedingly beautiful, in the romantic part of
Derbyshire which Sir Walter Scott has celebrated in 'Peveril of the Peak.'
Chetelsworthe would seem to have been the original name of the place,
derived from a Saxon owner named Chetel, the other part of the word meaning 'Court.'
At the time of the Domesday Book, the manor belonged to the Crown, and was in the
keeping of William Peveril. Afterwards, for many years, it was held by the Leech family,
before being sold to the Agards, and then from them was purchased by Sir William Cavendish,
ancestor of the Dukes of Devonshire, the owners since."
