# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Chetwynd, John

​CHETWYND or CHETWIND, JOHN (1623–1692), divine, eldest son of Dr. Edward Chetwynd [q. v.] and Helena, daughter of Sir John Harington, was born at Banwell, Somersetshire, on 4 Jan. 1623. At the age of fifteen he was admitted a commoner of Exeter College, Oxford, where he took the B.A. degree in 1642. On leaving the university he threw in his lot with the presbyterians, seemingly at the instigation of his uncle, John Harington. He took the covenant, and, returning to Oxford when the visitors appointed by parliament were sitting, received the M.A. degree in October 1648. He then became a joint-pastor for the parish of St. Cuthbert in Wells, and while thus employed published in 1653, in addition to two or three sermons, a book written by his maternal grandfather, and entitled ‘A Briefe View of the Church of England in Queen Elizabeth's and King James's Reigne to the yeere 1608.’ This work, for which Chetwynd wrote a short introduction, is fairly described on the title-page as ‘a character and history of the bishops of those times, and may serve as an additional supply to Doctor Goodwin’s catalogue of bishops: written for the private use of Prince Henry upon the occasion of that proverb—
Henry viii pull'd down monks and their cells. Henry ix should pull down bishops and their bells.’
At the Restoration Chetwynd saw fit to change his theological views, and after taking orders was appointed vicar of Temple in Bristol. He was also presented to a public lectureship in the same city, and later became a ​prebendary of the cathedral. Several of his sermons were printed, and show that the popularity with which Chetwynd was credited as a preacher was not undeserved. Chetwynd died on 30 Dec. 1692, and was buried in the chancel of Temple Church. The only non-religious work published by Chetwynd was 'Anthologia Historica, containing 14 Centuries of Memorable Passages and Remarkable Occurrents collected out of the English, Spanish, Imperial, and Jewish Histories,' which appeared in 1674, and, as the title implies, is nothing but a very ordinary commonplace book. In the dedication of this work the compiler describes himself as the poor kinsman of the Lady Gerard, baroness of Gerard Bromeley, of the Right Worshipful Walter Chetwynd [q. v.] of Ingestre, and of William Chetwynd of Ridgeley in Staffordshire.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Chetwynd, Walter

​CHETWYND, WALTER (d. 1693), antiquary, was the only son of Walter Chetwynd of Ingestre, Staffordshire, by his marriage on 2 July 1682 to Frances, only daughter of Edward Hesilrige of Arthingworth, Northamptonshire (Nichols, Collecteanea, v. 218). He represented the borough of Stafford in 1673–4, 1678–9, and 1686, the county in 1689–1690, and served the office of sheriff in 1680. He died in London on 21 March 1692–3 of small-pox, and was buried at Ingestre (Luttrell, Relation of State Affairs, iii. 58). On 14 Sept. 1668 he married Anne, eldest daughter of Sir Edward Bagot, bart., of Blithfield, Staffordshire, who died on 6 Dec. 1671, leaving an only daughter, Frances, who died in her infancy (Lord Bagot, Memorials of the Bagot Family, pp. 130, 139, 171).
Chetwynd was not only distinguished as an antiquary, but liberally encouraged fellow-students. To him we are indebted for that delightful book, Plot's 'Natural History of Staffordshire.' He introduced the author into the county, and assisted him with money and material. Chetwynd's own collections, which included the papers of William Burton the historian of Leicestershire [q. v.], presented to him by Cassibelan Burton [q. v.], were preserved at Ingestre Hall until its destruction by fire on 12 Oct. 1882. They consisted of two folio volumes, the one a vellum chartulary, containing copies of all the records of the Chetwynd family, with drawings of monuments, seals, &c. The other, the first draft of a survey of Pirehill hundred, not quite finished, but enriched with numerous pedegrees. Of these manuscripts Shaw made copious use (Hist. of Staffordshire, i. vi–vii, 389, ii. xxiv–v). In 1673 Chetwynd began to build a new church at Ingestre in place of the old structure, which, from rough usage during the civil war, had fallen to decay. On the day of consecration, three years later, care was taken that every rite of the church, including a baptism, a marriage, and a burial, should be solemnised, and at the close the pious founder offered upon the altar the tithes of Hopton, an adjoining village, to the value of 50l. a year, as an addition to the rectory for ever (Plot, Natural Hist. of Staffordshire, pp. 297–300). Chetwynd's portrait by Lely formerly hung in the hall at Ingestre; an engraving was taken for Harwood's edition of Erdeswick's 'Survey.' He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society on 31 Jan. 1677–8.

​CHETWYND, WILLIAM RICHARD CHETWYND, third Viscount Chetwynd (1685?–1770), was the third son of John Chetwynd of Ridge in Staffordshire, M.P. for Stafford in 1689, 1700, and 1702, who was younger son of Sir Walter Chetwynd of Ingestre, head of the ancient family of Chetwynd, first of Chetwynd, Shropshire, and then of Ingestre, and younger brother of Walter Chetwynd, M.P. for Stafford and Lichfield 1708 to 1735, who was master of the buckhounds 1706 to 1711, and was created Viscount Chetwynd of Bearhaven, co. Cork, and Baron of Rathdowne, co. Dublin, in the peerage of Ireland, with remainder to his brothers John and William Richard, on 29 June 1717. Chetwynd was educated at Westminster, from which he was elected to Christ Church, Oxford, in 1708, and was appointed resident at Genoa in 1708, through the influence of his brother Walter, who was a member of the whig administration and had powerful parliamentary connections after his succession to the great estate of Ingestre. In 1712, after the accession of Harley and St. John to power, Chetwynd was recalled from Genoa, but in 1714 he was elected M.P. for Stafford, again through the influence of his brother, and in 1717 he became a junior lord of the admiralty in the whig administration. In 1722 he was elected M.P. for Plymouth, but in 1727 he lost both his seat in parliament and his ​official position. He re-entered parliament as M.P. for Stafford in 1734, and in the following year his brother John Chetwynd, who had been an M.P. for many years, receiver-general of the duchy of Lancaster, and envoy extraordinary to ALadrid in 1717, succeeded to the Irish viscounty under the patent of limitation, and to the family estates. On 29 Dec. 1744 Chetwynd was appointed to the lucrative post of master of the mint, which he retained until 8 June 1769, but he retained his seat for Stafford until his death on 3 April 1770. On 21 June 1767 he succeeded his brother John as third Viscount Chetwynd, but the Ingestre manor and estates went to his niece, who had married the Hon. John Talbot, second son of Lord-chancellor Talbot, and great-grandfather of the eighteenth Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, in whose family it still remains. The third Viscount Chetwynd married Honora, daughter of John Baker, English consul at Algiers, by whom he left two sons, the elder of whom succeeded as fourth viscount.

​CHEVALIER, JOHN (fl. 1661), chronicler of Jersey about the period of the civil war, was a vingtenier, or tything man, of the town of St. Heliers. He was somewhat superstitious, and a moderate royalist. The events which he relates happened during his lifetime. His narrative is divided into three parts: the first opens with the dissensions of Dean Bandinel [q. v.] with the lieutenant-governor about a royal grant of the great tithes of St. Saviour's parish, and ends with the death of Sir Philip de Carteret [q. v.] in 1643; the second contains the journal of Major Lydcott's government, and of the sieges of the castles, and includes a space of scarcely three months; the last is the most voluminous, and contains a minute account of the administration of Sir George de Carteret [q. v.], which lasted eight years, during which he governed the island with unlimited power and almost independent of his sovereign.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Chevalier, Thomas

​CHEVALIER, THOMAS (1767–1824), surgeon, was born in London on 3 Nov. 1767. His paternal grandfather was a French protestant, resident at Orleans, and escaped from France in an open boat on the revocation of the edict of Nantes. On the death of his mother in 1770 Chevalier was brought up by her brother, Thomas Sturgis, a general practitioner in South Audley Street, London. He studied anatomy under Matthew Baillie (see Dedication to Lectures, 1823), and appears to have obtained a university degree of M.A. (probably at Cambridge, where the name of Thomas Chevallier is recorded as A.B. of Pembroke College, 1792). He became a member of the London Corporation of Surgeons, and in 1797 defended it in a pamphlet written to promote the movement for transforming the corporation into a college [see Cline, Henry]. In this pamphlet Chevalier gives a learned sketch of the history of surgery. He was appointed surgeon to the Westminster Dispensary and lecturer on surgery. In 1801 he published an ‘Introduction to a Course of Lectures on the Operations of Surgery,’ and in 1804 a ‘Treatise on Gunshot Wounds,’ which had obtained the prize of the College of Surgeons in 1803, and which reached a third edition in 1806. It also secured him the appointment of surgeon extraordinary to the Prince of Wales, and a present of a diamond ring from the czar of Russia. In 1821 Chevalier delivered an able Hunterian oration (published in 4to, 1823); he also gave excellent courses of lectures at the College of Surgeons, as professor of anatomy and surgery, in 1823, on the ‘General Structure of the Human Body and the Anatomy and Functions of the Skin;’ these were also published in the same year.
Chevalier was highly esteemed, not only as a surgeon and anatomist, but as a man of linguistic and theological erudition. He translated into English Bossuet's ‘Universal History’ and Pascal's ‘Thoughts,’ and made numerous contributions to periodical literature. He wrote the preface to Bagster's Polyglot Bible, and compiled the collection of texts and various readings. His last publication was ‘Remarks on Suicide,’ 1824, in which he urges that suicide is often one of the earliest symptoms of insanity, as shown by the history of those who have failed in the attempt, and he recommends verdicts of ‘suicide during insanity’ in the majority of cases. He died suddenly on 9 June 1824. He had been an active member (for many years deacon) of the Keppel Street (Russell Square) baptist chapel.

He was chosen lecturer to the corporation of Abingdon in 1606, and in the following year lecturer to the corporation of Bristol. In 1613 he was appointed chaplain to Queen Anne. He took the degee of D.D. in 1616, and was appointed dean of Bristol in 1617. He also held the vicarages of Banwell in Somersetshire and Barclay in Gloucestershire.

Der er et Yndigt land (There is a Lovely Land) is the (civil) national anthem of Denmark. If the royal family is present, the royal anthem, Kong Christian stod ved højen mast, is used. In its common use only the first stanza and the three last verses of the fourth are used. Even if all four stanzas are sung, the first half of the fourth is practically always omitted. The third and sixth verses of each stanza are repeated once.
