Viewed from the public footpath at the rear of the property. Chenies Manor was originally owned by the Cheyne family, who were granted the manorial rights in 1180, and passed by marriage to the Russell family in 1526. John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford set about improving the house both as his home and enlarging it to the size and standard needed to house the royal court, so he could host visits from the king. The house was probably constructed by him around 1530–1550, while the significantly larger north range, which included the royal apartments, has been demolished. Russell had a meteoric career as an advisor to successive monarchs, becoming wealthy and titled and acquiring other properties. By about 1608 Woburn Abbey had become the principal family residence. Thereafter Chenies became increasingly neglected; the surviving buildings are the ones which were still considered practical.The manor remained in the possession of the Russells until 1954 and is now the Macleod Matthews family home.
