More about this scene

Chenies, a mile downstream from Latimer, takes its name from the Cheyne family who held the manor from the 13th century until the 16th century when it passed, through the marriage in 1526 of the last of the Cheyne's, Anne Sapcote, to her third husband Sir John Russell. The Russells became earls and later dukes of Bedford and, although they had moved their seat to Woburn Abbey by the 18th century, the dukes continued to be buried in St Peter's Church in Cherries.
