History of Blackwells Chipperfield
For a number of years the Lords of the Manor were the Blackwell family, of Cross and Blackwell. They were great benefactors to the village. Two of Samuel and Elizabeth Blackwell's sons, Charles and William Gordon, were killed during World War One. In memory of them they gave the village the village club, which remained a club until quite recently. It’s now been renamed Blackwells and it's both a club and cafe on the common.
Samuel and Elizabeth were equally devastated by the loss of two sons. Charles Blackwell was wounded at the second battle of Ypres and died in France in July, 1915. William Gordon Blackwell, the younger of the two brothers, was killed in action on October 5, 1916.”
