Chesterton Hall, Grade II listed historic house in Cambridge, England.
Chesterton Hall is a red brick building with two storeys and three bays in Cambridge. The structure features mullioned windows and an octagonal stair tower on the north side.
Thomas Hobson, the person behind the phrase Hobson's Choice, lived at this hall from 1627 until his death in 1631. The building stands as a connection to 17th-century life in Cambridge.
Mrs. Wragg Gurney transferred substantial portions of the Chesterton lands to St. John's College, Cambridge in 1922 for educational purposes.
The building sits on Chesterton Road in northern Cambridge and is easy to find. Its location shows how historic structures are preserved within modern surroundings.
The building has an unusual L-shaped layout with an octagonal tower at the northwest corner. This arrangement was typical of 17th-century architectural design.
