History of The Chase
The Chase is named after the hill, which were the hunting grounds of the Bishop of Hereford in Medieval times.
The present mansion house is a hotel with grounds extending to 11 acres. Shaded pools are the only remains of Chest’s or Chase Mill dating from at least the 17th century. This was one of the three mill sites in Ross, the others were the Town Mill in Brookend and the One Mill at the end of the RopeWalk.
From the 17th century a list of occupiers have been established, and the development of the site maybe traced from a farm and mill to a mansion house which became the present day hotel.
