CLEMENT CHEVALLIER | 1697 - 1762
Upon the death of Temple Chevallier in 1722 the estate was left to Clement Chevallier. This 'Clement' was probably a first cousin of Temple Chevallier. It is not quite clear whether the bequest was to Clement Chevallier, who had married Mary Dumaresq (and who was about the same age as Temple), or to Clement Benjamin Chevallier, their son.
Whether in his own right or by concession from his Father, Clement Benjamin became the owner, the second Chevallier of Aspall.
Although Clement Chevallier gained a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the South Regiment of Jersey Militia on October 12, 1715 he was trained in commercial affairs and despite being only 25 when inheriting Aspall Hall estate he set about making the land pay for itself.
1728 proved to be a momentous year for Clement Chevallier and subsequent generations. Not only did Clement marry Miss Jane Garneys, at Bedingfield in 1728 he also founded Aspall Cyder. He planted apple trees from Jersey, and introduced at his Suffolk home the making of cyder, which was not previously available in the county, for his own hedonistic pleasure.
