John was the son of Sir Nicholas Chetwode (d.1369) of Chetwode by Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Lyons of Warkworth.
John married first Mary before 1371.
They were the parents of John and Margery.
John married secondly before 1393, Amabel (d. 8 Sept. 1430), daughter of Sir Thomas Green of Greens Norton, Northants.
They were the parents of Thomas.
John was Knighted. bef. Oct. 1386.
From his father Chetwode inherited the manors of Chetwode in Buckinghamshire and Hockliffe in Bedfordshire (which, in 1392, were together estimated as worth £40 a year), as well as land in Northamptonshire, and perhaps also the property at Great Stukeley in Huntingdonshire which he certainly held later. Of greater importance in Chetwode's own opinion, however, was his inheritance from his maternal uncle, Sir John Lyons (d.1385), for it included the valuable estate at Warkworth. In fact, he chose to style himself ‘lord of Warkworth', and to seal his deeds with the arms of Lyons — a lion rampant — in preference to those of Chetwode.
in July 1389 he and his first wife obtained a royal licence to grant the canons in mortmain an acre of land and the advowson of the church at Chetwode — a gift which was to be completed by formal conveyance in November 1391 — and in the following year (1392) he and others obtained permission to grant 60 acres of wood in Lenborough near Buckingham to the same monastic house, for providing a light to burn daily before the high altar in the priory church.
At the time of his death, which occurred on 2 Apr. 1412, Chetwode was holding office as verderer of Whittlewood forest. The monumental brass placed over his grave in Warkworth church depicts him as wearing armour, his feet resting on a lion, his hands lifted as in prayer. The offspring of his first marriage — John and Margery (the wife of John Browning (1397-1420), son of John Browning of Melbury Sampford, Dorset) — both died in 1420, leaving as heir to the Chetwode estates their half-brother (Sir) Thomas Chetwode. A few years after Sir John's death, his widow Amabel married Thomas Strange
