They lived at Chastleton House in Oxfordshire, built by Walter Jones (the father of Henry Jones) between 1603 and 1630.

In the south-east corner of the first floor of the house is the Fettiplace room, which retains its original form.

The house was still under construction when Henry Jones was married, and the Fettiplace coat-of-arms was incorporated into an overmantle.
