Amersham MuseumPosition: grid reference SU956973Chesham BoisInitially a hamlet in the parish of Chesham, the manor was assessed at 1½ hides in the reign of King Edward the Confessor.[2] The estate belonged to a brother of King Harold, who was killed with him at the Battle of Hastings and probably William the Conqueror gave this ?royal? land to his own half-brother, Odo Bishop of Bayeux.[3] The village gets its name from the de Bosco family[4] (the French version of which was 'de Bois') and by 1213 in the reign of King John a William du Bois was holding the manor.[2] By about 1430, in the reign of Henry VI, the manor had been acquired by the Cheynes of Chenies who remained for over 300 years, before conveying the manor to the Duke of Bedford in 1735.[2][5] Chesham Bois House, the site of the manor, was the subject of an archaeological excavation by Time Team, which was broadcast in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 in March 2007.[6][7]Amersham stationAmersham Station PlatformsStoke PogesThe manor house in Stoke Poges was once very substantial, and Queen Elizabeth I was entertained here in 1601. A few decades later the lady of the manor, Lady Purbeck, had a love affair with the Member of Parliament Robert Howard. The affair's discovery caused a national scandal and in 1635 she was imprisoned for adultery. She escaped from prison to France, later returning to Stoke Poges where she died in 1645.Datchet railway stationThe down side wooden building has also been lost as well. Datchet had a manual signal box which also worked the manual level crossing gates, this and Mays crossing box closed in December 1974 when control has taken over by Feltham power box, this led to the replacement of the manual barriers with the lifting ones we have today.Information by Wikipedia.com
