ChicheleyThis attractive village is the home of Chicheley Hall, a beautiful baroque house that was built in the early 1700s for Sir John Chester and which remains today one of the finest such houses in the country. Down the years it was used by the military and as a school, but in 1952 it was bought by the 2nd Earl Beatty and restored to its former state of grace. The earl’s father, the 1st Earl, was a particularly courageous naval commander and, as well as receiving the DSO at the age of just 25, he was also a commander in the decisive battle of Jutland in 1916. |
