Chesterton

 

This small hamlet, on the Peterborough to Oundle road, was the home of the poet Dryden's family although Chesterton Manor built in 1625, where they lived, has gone.

Although now gone, fortunately one of the windows was saved and is now installed in the Library of Elton Hall.

In the early English church however are two monuments one of which is a memorial to the poet's cousin, also John Dryden (or Driden) and the other to the Bellville family who founded Chesterton House.
