Nancy sent this and I thought you would find it as interesting as I did.
Bill and I hope to get over there next January - at least we've sent for
passports. Julie

Got this message from another List that I'm on, and just spent some very
interesting time investigating it. This is a site that has old maps of
England, and some of "our" places are on it. (You might want to print
out this message - it can get confusing...)
>> Landranger have recently launched a site of 19th century maps covering the whole country. There are over 85000 images at 1:10560 scale, which is detailed enough to show individual houses. Each county has a gazetteer of place names
>> This is the URL
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.htm
To start you out, here are a couple of suggestions:
Click on the URL.
Click on B,
then Buckinghamshire
then Chetwode
I opened the map as wide as I could (use those little railroad tracks
with the arrows attached to drag it open) and moved around the site.
Somewhere middle-ish is St. Mary & St. Nicholas's Church and the
Priory. That is the church founded by our family way back when. Then
move to the right and up just a bit, and you will find CHETWODE Manor
House. Yep. Ours.
Once you have soaked in all of that, go back to the Buckinghamshire
county site and
Click on L
then Lillingstone Dayrell
That is where part of our family lived, also. The connection? All of
you who have the genealogy back to John deChetwode, check out the John
who was born about 1361. See where he married Margerie DAYVELL? Well,
guys and gals, that actually is Margerie DAYRELL. With an R. Daughter
of Sir Roger DAYRELL, etc. The DAYRELLs lived in Lillingstone Dayrell
and owned lands there, but John and Margerie took off to Okeley (Oakley)
to live at Oakley Hall (I'll give you that location in a few seconds),
so the remaining DAYRELL bunch are collaterals.
Now. Once you have Buckinghamshire all soaked in, go back out and
Click on S
then on Staffordshire
then on Oakley
That is where you will find Oakley Hall. Where the CHETWODEs lived for
many generations. (Chetwode, in Buckinghamshire, was really used for a
sort of vacation place for our branches, while they actually lived at
Oakley Hall.) We got that nice piece of property in the family when old
John (b around 1331) married into the deOKELEY family, specifically to
Elizabeth, who just happened to be the heir of her brother, William.
Who must have died or something. Anyway, Oakley Hall is even bigger
than - and "more important" than - Chetwode Manor House. They rank them
thusly:
Castle/Palace
Hall
Manor House
etc
We were there when the rhododendrums (rhody-dum-dums, rum-di-do-dos,
whatever) were in bloom. It is quite a place!!!
Ready for another one? Okay, while you are in Staffordshire,
go to M
click on Mucklestone.
Mucklestone is practically within walking distance of Oakley Hall, and
has a great many CHETWODE connections and many burials at the church
there. They have renovated the church, itself, but have kept the
CHETWODE family "pew" (actually, a large area up front and off to the
side where the CHETWODEs could sit. Probably kept them from mingling
with the riff-raff..........just kidding!) There also are some really
fine stained glass windows given by the CHETWODE family at the time of
the renovation. Our collateral family, but interesting, nonetheless.
Now. Once you have tootled around the maps, you might want to check out
some pictures. If so, try this URL:
http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/leisure/photodb/index.htm
Again, go to Chetwode, where there are many fine pictures of "our"
church, etc.
Once you have checked those out, try Lillingstone Dayrell, where there
are some neat pictures of the church there, too.
Enough for now. Just thought you might like to check out some family
places. When we were there in May, we went to all of these places plus
a few others. What a marvelous, wonderful trip! Discovered some
beautiful burial brasses under the rugs at Warkworth and did a couple of
brass rubbings, for example. I really felt part of history when I was
amongst the family places! Would enthusiastically recommend a visit for
each of you!
