Sir Thomas HATTON owned the manor of Chessington.
In 1738 a survey of the lands at Chessington of one Thomas HUTTON was carried out in connection with the building of the Queen Anne Churches in London (Lambeth Palace Records, MS 2726). These are amongst papers relating to architects and officials for the project. In 1716 Richard GODFREY of the Inner Temple, Simon MICHELL of the Middle Temple (who married Charity HATTON), Charles WOOD of Lincoln's Inn and Richard HUTTON of Lincoln's Inn (elsewhere called HATTON) are also mentioned in connection with the project (MS 2732/36). Simon MICHELL and Richard HUTTON are mentioned again in 1723 (MS 2732/39-40). HUTTON, WOOD and MICHELL were also involved with building projects at Spitalfields, whilst MICHELL's son married a daughter of Sir John TASH of London, vintner (who may have been related to the TASH family of Burford, Oxon.) Richard HUTTON was related to Thomas HUTTON of Aldbourne, Wilts and Westminster, London.
