Chesterton Hall, Grade II listed historic house in Cambridge, England.

The red brick structure of Chesterton Hall features two storeys with three bays, mullioned windows, and an octagonal stair tower in the north wing.

Thomas Hobson, from whom we get the phrase Hobson's Choice, lived at Chesterton Hall from 1627 until his death in 1631.

Mrs. Wragg Gurney transferred substantial portions of the Chesterton lands to St. John's College, Cambridge in 1922 for educational purposes.

The building stands on Chesterton Road, marking the intersection between modern infrastructure and historical preservation in northern Cambridge.

The hall's distinctive L-shaped plan incorporates an octagonal tower at the northwest angle, representing 17th-century architectural design principles.
