Chester House - the full story
Have you ever wondered about the extraordinary house on the corner of Wimbledon Common and the Crooked Billet? Home to one of the most outspoken radicals of the 18th century, once revealed as the hiding place of a huge treasure trove and later a training centre for thousands of bankers, this is Wimbledon's third oldest building and a listed treasure in its own right.
The booklet "Chester House, Wimbledon - Atmosphere of a Past Age" tells the fascinating full story of Wimbledon's third oldest building. Newly published, copies are available from the Museum of Wimbledon at 22 Ridgway, SW19. Open every weekend from 2.30pm to 5pm.
