Kelham House
Kelham House is mentioned by several authorities as the place where King Carles I remained during his stay, but there is no evidence by which it is possible to fix the site of this dwelling. The Sutton family resided at Averham, but Robert Sutton joined Charles I at Oxford, and his estates were in consequence sequestrated and his house at Averham burnt by the troops. In reward for his services and some compensation for his losses, he was, in 1645, created Lord Lexington.( cites Lexington Papers, p. 2)

The old hall at Kelham is stated by Thoroton to have been built "after the wars", by Robert Sutton, Lord Lexington. As the house at Averham had been burnt, and Kelham Hall had not yet built, there is no obvious historical candidate for "Kelham House" and it was probably a house of some size in the village of Kelham.

Browns research is at odds with what is currently in this article:

The source currently used in the article is not authoritative. The timeline of the website http://kelham-hall.com makes a similar claim but do hot provide any sources and beside it fail MRDA

Are there any more recent reliable sources that contradict Cornelius Brown's 1904 research? -- PBS (talk) 09:17, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

A source for the fire and a detailed description of the house is available online but unfortunately it does not mention 1646 or the date that the original building was constructed. Jacks writes that the fire on the night of 27/28 November 1857 destroyed the previous mansion that had been constructed after a fire during the reign of William and Mary had destroyed the "ancient fabric that stood on the site": -- PBS (talk) 10:11, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Kelham Hall
I have created a separate article about Kelham Hall mainly comprising material copied from the Kelham page. Some material about the hall has been retained on the Kelham page, albeit pruned and with a link to the new page.Thoughtfortheday (talk) 15:11, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
