AN ACCOUNT OF TWO MONUMENTAL EFFIGIES FOUND AT

CHENIES, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.

THE rural village of Chenies is romantically situated about five miles from Chesham, on a lofty ridge, from which is seen a beautiful landscape seldom surpassed in English scenery. This parish, originally called Isenhamsted, received its present appellation from the Cheney or Cheynè family, who resided there, and possessed the manor and advowson, from about the middle of the thirteenth, to near the close of the fifteenth, century.

Leland, who visited this place, thus describes the manorhouse: "The olde house of the Cheyneis is so translatid by my Lorde Russel, that hath that house on the right of his wife, that litle or nothing of it yn a maner remaynith ontranslatid; and a great deale of the house is even newly set up, made of brike and timber; and fair logginges be new erectid in the gardene. The house is within diverse places richely paintid with antique workes of white and blak. And there be about the house 2 parkes, as I remembre." (Itin., vol. i., fol. 122, begun about 1538, 30 Henry VIII.)

A considerable portion of this house still remains, and presents some interesting specimens of various styles of architecture. But my attention was particularly attracted to two monumental effigies which lie in the cellar of this house, and which have been "so translatid by my Lorde Russel, that litle or nothing of them yn a maner remaynith ontranslatid." It may be well, therefore, to preserve some memorial of them before they are translated into concrete or paving stones. They consist of the effigies of a warrior and a lady, boldly sculptured in hard, close-grained stone. The effigy of the lady is in the best state of preservation, but it has lost the right arm and both hands, and has in other parts been very much rubbed and worn. The head, which rested. on a lozenge-shaped pillow, now separated from it, is attired in a caul encircled by a fillet ornamented with rosettes; and buttons, similarly ornamented, fasten the robe from the neck to the waist. Above this garment is worn that singular jacket with which ladies adorned or disfigured themselves at

Mutilated Effigies, removed from the church of Chenies. Date, about 1400. Supposed to have been the memorials of Sir John Cheyne, and

a Lady of the same family.
