Construction The house was built speculatively with monies from the Adam family and from the banker Sir George Colebrooke, later to be an Adam client himself. It was started in 1769 and finished in 1771, on a plot between another Adam house to the west and the garden wall of Foley House to the east, on land which was part of the Duke of Portland's estate.

Notable occupants In 1813, the house was still home to Anna Eliza Brydges, Duchess of Chandos, whom the 3rd Duke of Chandos had ...

Chandos Anthems
''Chandos Anthems'', Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis, HWV 246–256, is the common name of a set of anthems written by George Frideric Handel. These sacred choral compositions number eleven; a twelfth of disputed authorship is not considered here. The texts are psalms and combined psalm verses in English. Handel wrote the anthems as composer in residence at Cannons (house), Cannons, the court of James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos, James Brydges, who became the First Duke of Chandos in 1719.

With a leading ''Jubilate'', an additional closing anthem in different scoring, and in different order, they were published in the Samuel Arnold (compos ...
