Geocache Description:

One of the Village Signs series .

The Village was known as Isenhampstead until the middle of the thirteenth century, taking the name of ‘Chenies’ from the ‘Cheyne’ family who occupied the Manor House until the 16th Century. The village was the original family seat of the ‘Russells’ from 1526 coming into the possession of John, first Earl of Bedford on his marriage to the daughter of Sir Guy Sapcote, until 1954. It was sold in 1954 to raise part of the death duties arising on the death of the twelfth Duke.
It is centred around a small green where is ample parking outside of school drop off and collection times.
There are several pubs for refreshment. There are quite a few caches in the area which could be sought as part of a circular walk taking in the River Chess which is a good example of a chalk stream.
Coordinates are given for the sign which features two prominent buildings.

The cache can be found at N51 40.ABC W 00 31.DEF

About Village Sign Caches
⠀

 

This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).

The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website

If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.



Congratulations to Smokeypugs on FTF.
