Chequers (/ˈtʃɛkərz/ CHEK-ərz), or Chequers Court, is the country house of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. A 16th-century manor house in origin, it is located near the village of Ellesborough, halfway between Princes Risborough and Wendover in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. It is about 40 miles (64 km) north-west of central London. Coombe Hill, once part of the estate, is located two-thirds of a mile (1.1 km) northeast. Chequers has been the country home of the serving Prime Minister since 1921 after the estate was given to the nation by Sir Arthur Lee by a Deed of Settlement, given full effect in the Chequers Estate Act 1917. The house is listed Grade I on the National Heritage List for England.

  • 契克斯(Chequers),又名契克斯閣(Chequers Court),是一所位於英格蘭白金漢郡艾爾斯伯里東南方,(Ellesborough)附近,奇爾特恩丘陵山腳的,是英國首相的官方鄉間別墅。 契克斯最早建於12世紀,現存的建築物則建成於16世紀,是一幢具的莊園宅第。至於「契克斯」這個名稱,則大約在1100年代開始成形。琴·格蕾女爵的妹妹,(Lady Mary Grey)曾在1565年至1567年,遭女皇伊莉莎白一世以未經諮詢皇室而結婚為理由,被軟禁在契克斯。 在第一次世界大戰期間,契克斯曾被徵用作醫院和傷兵的療養院。而在戰後,當時契克斯的業主(Lord Lee of Fareham)見自己並無後嗣,又有感首相的出身比以往卑微,大多沒有一所適當的大宅休息和招待國賓,於是有意把契克斯獻給國家。經過與時任英國首相的大衛·勞合·喬治商討後,契克斯遂透《1917年契克斯莊園法案》,贈予英国国民信托,作為首相的鄉郊別墅。勳爵夫婦倆在1921年1月21日在契克斯用過最後一次晚餐後,便正式搬離了契克斯。 毗連契克斯的(Coombe Hill),最初是一併贈予国民信托的,但兩者在1920年代分開管理,而該山嶺現已被評為杰出自然风景区。 (zh)
