About Us

Chenies Village History Group

Who Are We?

We are a community co-operative of individuals dedicated to preserving and documenting the history of our village, its many historical buildings, and the stories of the people who lived here.

Many residents have lived here for decades; we seek to record their histories and memories of past lives in the village before they are lost forever.

Within the village, you will find Chenies Manor, the parish church of St. Michael which includes the Bedford Chapel, burial place of many notable members of the Russell family, and a Baptist Chapel.

Chenies is also a popular destination for walkers, due to its proximity to the Chess Valley, and has been voted one of the top walking destinations in the UK.

Our Links

We work closely with the Chenies Village Society, and the Parish Council both of which are very active here in the village.
