A firm of builders and contractors active in 1880.

From British History Online: "Jesse Chessum, a builder who lived in Paradise Place in 1871, Holly Bush Lodge, Green Lanes in 1877, and Amhurst Park Road in 1881, when he employed 60 men. ... Jesse Chessum's 2 1/2 a. {acres} lay at the bend of the New River where Amhurst Park and Bethune Road met.  He put up large detached houses in 1878 in Amhurst Park Road and by 1879 on the east side of Bethune Road and semi-detached houses on the north side of Amhurst Park Road by 1883."

The Builder of 8 June1907 reports a court case in which the defendants were Jesse William Chessum and his brother Roland Bruce Chessum, contractors for Leslie Green in the construction of Highgate Station of the Underground Electric Railway. The charge was assault, false imprisonment and slander, alleged to have taken place at the Chessums' offices in City Chambers, Bishopsgate Street. The outcome is given as "the jury disagreed and were discharged."
