The Manor House - The house dates from as early as the thirteenth century but was mainly rebuilt in 1530 by John Russell, First Earl of Bedford with the notable ornamental chimneys, 22 of which remain and are closely related to those of Hampton Court. www.cheniesmanorhouse.co.uk
St. Michaels Church - Entirely rebuilt in flint in the 15th Century and largely reworked in the 19th Century. The font is Norman from the former Church, the Arch and roof are Victorian. The Bedford Chapel was built in 1556.
Woodside House - An 18th Century house, later a girl’s school, then enlarged in 1897 for Adeline Duchess of Bedford, who commissioned Gertrude Jekl & Edwin Lutyens to lay out the gardens.
Woodside - Towards the foot of the hill down past the green – is now divided into three. Once a smallgirl’s school for young ladies it was occupied from 1895 by the Dowager Duchess (Adeline) of Bedford until his death in 1920. She employed the young architect, Edwin Lutyens, to lay out the twelve acre garden (now split 5 ways); he brought in his Gertrude Jekyll, the most famous plants woman of her generation, to help, probably the first between the two of them, who were eventually jointly responsible for many of the finest gardens in England
Lutyens influence is now mainly apparent in the Garden of Chenies Place, the western part of the former Woodside. The principal axis of the design runs through three sets of brick steps into herbaceous borders between the hedges down to a courtyard with four octagonal beds, and finally to a bridge over the River Chess – the border between Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
Ford on the River Chess - Little changed from this ‘Turn of the Century’ view with the exception of the devastation in Mount Wood in the gales of early 1990 .
Bedford Arms Hotel - A traditional coaching inn owned by the Russell's until 1954 when it was sold. Today a renowned restaurant and Country House Hotel. www.bedfordarms.co.uk

Red Lion Public House - Originally The Red Lion was a coaching inn on one of the main routes out of London towards the West. Mike and Heather have been running this 16th century country freehold public house for 20years, offering a traditional pub that has great ales (mainly sourced from local or micro breweries) and really great home made food (some with a slight twist) and not a restaurant that sells beer! www.redlionchenies.com
