Chevington
Introduction
Scattered over three greens, this village is sited on edge of Great Ickworth park and contains several 17th century cottages. It was recorded in Domesday as "Ceuentuna". Abbots of Bury had a residence here on a ramped site where a 17th century hall and deer-park now stand. An ancient greenway still runs to Bury St Edmunds.
