CHESTERFORD, GREAT and LITTIE, (Essex) to the N. E. of Walden, on the b. of Cambridgeshire. It lies near Ickleton and Strethal upon the r. Cam. In 1719 here were discovered the veftigia of a Roman city, the foundation of whose walls appears quite round, though level with the ground, and takes in about 50 acres. Great part of it serves for a causey to the London road, and the Crown-inn is built on it. In the N. W. end of the T. there is the foundation of a Roman temple; and many Roman coins have been found in the Bor. field, as they term the old city; whose name, according to Dr. Stukeley, was Camboritum. Sir Jam. Berkley, who had this estate by a daughter of Mowbray, D. of Norfolk, built a fine house here, and gave the manor and rectory to Westminster-Abbey; and here was once a chantry; but upon the Ref. K. Hen. VIII. granted it to Sir Tho. Audley, Ld. Chanc. from whom it descended to Margaret, Dfs. of Norfolk; and from her to her son Thomas, E. of Suffolk, whose posterity have a seat here.
