Edward Peyto

Edward Peyto (1589-1643) was an English landowner. He was the son of William Peyto (d. 1619) and Elienora or Eleanor Aston (d. 1636), a daughter of Walter Aston of Tixall, and widow of Thomas Boulding. His estates were at Chesterton, Warwickshire. He extended Chesterton House in the 1630s (now demolished) and was probably the builder of Chesterton Windmill. A brick gateway built near the church in the 1630s survives. It follows a design by Inigo Jones. Peyto commissioned Nicholas Stone to make a monument for his parents in 1639. He developed brickmaking and woad growing on his lands.
