The main historical interest centres on the English Civil War, during which time the house was owned by Col. Nathaniel Stephens MP for Gloucestershire. He was persuaded to vote for Charles I’s impeachment and subsequent execution. Soon after the King was beheaded, Col. Stephens died and it is said that his ghostly form was seen leaving Chavenage in a carriage driven by a headless coachman wearing the Royal vestments.
