  === Adam de Chetwynd, the first lord of Chet ===
  Adam de Chetwynd, the first lord of Chetwynd Mr Eyton can discover who bore the name, in 1180 compounded for an encroachment (pourpresture) in the King's Forest by a payment of three shillings. In the first year of King John the same Adam de Chetwynd and six others who eleven years before had been jurors in a case of novel disseisin (one of the old modes of recovering possession of land) tried at Shrewsbury between Robert de Hunteland and Robert de Wodecot respecting the right at Chesswell, a hamlet of Longford, were summoned to Westminster to sow how that assize terminated. They recollected that judgment was given for Huntland, but could not say (what was really the point at issue) whether Eva de Longford, as lady of the manor, had 'warranted' the premises to Huntland in the form required by law. The seven jurors were Adam de Chetewynd, Peter de Eiton, Hamo de Pivelesdon, Adam de Alarton, Philip de Buterey, Walter de Elpole, and Pagan de Cherinton. Chetwynd was at this time a knight, for the same day, while they were at Westminster, he was a visor in a case of 'Essoing,' with three of the same jurors, vix. Cherinton, Pivelesdon, and Alarton, a business at that time always entrusted to knights. Before they set out from home they had been ordered to interview the Abbot of Lilleshall to ascertain whether the sickness on account of which he had excused himself from attending in a cattle case (placitum averiorum) was real or pretended. They reported that the Abbot was sick, but they had given him a day, viz. one month from the morrow of St Dunstan (19 May) by which he must appear at the Tower of London. A journey on horseback from Shropshire to London in the spring of the year, when the roads were bad and beset with thieves, must have been irksome enough, but our sturdy ancestors usually held it beneath the condition of a freeman, much less an abbot, to do anything at the precise time appointed. Moreover the feudal law allowed three days to elapse before the defendant was adjudged to be contumacious, and the first day of the assizes was always given up to taking Essoigns for those who did not attend. At the county assizes in October, 1203, Chetwynd himself made excuse for his non-attendance, at the 'Common-Summons,' to meet the king's justices, his Essoigner or representative being Nicholas Crasset.
  
  Sir Adam is deceased in 1210. He is said to have married Agnes, daughter of John Lord Lovel of Tichmersh and Minster-Lovel, co. Oxon, and this seems to be confirmed by the fact that his grandson Sir John de Chetwynd II inherited property at Baxterly in North Warwickshire 'from his kinsman John, son of William Lovel.'
