Chequers, Netteswell

The pub stayed in the same family from at least 1841 when William Wingfield is on the census as being the publican, to at least 1933, when his great grandson Richard James Hasler is recorded in Kelly's directory as being the publican. 
The pub passed from William Wingfield to his son-in-law George Clements (married to William's daughter Martha Wingfield).  George Smith is the next recorded publican. He is the son of Charles Smith & Susannah Wingfield (also a daughter of William). George's widow, Emily, took over the pub after his death. 
In 1914, Richard Smith, brother of George Smith, is the publican. Then in 1917 it is Sarah Ann Hasler (nee Smith, sister of George & Richard) 
I'm not sure how William Hasler, who is recorded as the next publican, fits in, it's possible he is Sarah's son or her brother -in-law . In 1933, Richard James Hasler is there, and I know that he is definitely the son of Sarah Ann Hasler.

Taken by Diane & David Guest

This private residence was the Chequers up until the late 1940's/early 1950's when Harlow New Town was developed. The Chequers then moved to a new building next door and has recently been renamed Mr Q's.

I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
Once you have discovered enough history of Essex; why not study to undergraduate or postgraduate level in Computer Science or Electronics Engineering at the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems, Essex University in Colchester, Essex? It is not only a great place to study, but also a foreleader in technology at an UK leading University with courses and doctoral research in Robotics, Natural Engineering, Intelligent Systems, Embedded Systems, Networking and Photonics, Laser Technology etc.
