turned them out and gave the property and rights to the "Prioress and Nuns of Cesthont". The college, a famous institution, stands near the church; it was founded in 1768 by Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, at Trevecca, near Talgarth, S. Wales, and removed to Cheshunt after her death. A few years ago it was bought by the Church of England, for use as a theological college. Close by, too, is the site of Pengelly House, once the home of Richard Cromwell. Cheshunt Park (1 mile N.) is full of memories of the Cromwells and the Russells. The Great House, near Church Gate, was one of the many residences of Cardinal Wolsey. Both the house and the moat are still preserved. [Footnote 3: Chauncy writes: "This Vill in old Records was called Cestrehunt, from Castrum in the Latin, which might, in all Probability, import some castle erected here by the Romans; and the Saxons imitating the name, though corruptly ... might from hence call it Cestrehunt".] CHESS, river. (See Introduction.) _Cheverell's Green_ (11/2 mile N.W. from Flamstead, and about 4 miles N.W. from Redbourn Station, M.R.) is a small hamlet and green adjoining Beechwood Park. _Childwick Green_ is 1 mile S. from Harpenden Common, and 21/2 miles N. from St. Albans. CHIPPERFIELD (21/2 miles W. from King's Langley Station, L.&N.W.R.) was made an ecclesiastical parish in 1863. The small church on the common, E.E. in style, built in 1837, is of little interest. There is a good lich-gate at the N. entrance to the churchyard. The neighbourhood is pleasant and varied. _Chipping_ (2 miles N. from Buntingford) is a small village on the Royston Road. _Chivesfield (or Chesfield)_ is 2 miles N.E. from Stevenage Station, G.N.R. It is locally famous for its ruined church. One John Wykins was rector here as early as 1323. The windows were partly destroyed in 1642. Some interesting memorials were extant in Chauncy's day, and are mentioned in the second volume of his _Antiquities_. [Illustration: CHORLEY WOOD COMMON] CHORLEY WOOD, a village 21/2 miles N.W. from Rickmansworth, has a station on the Met.R. near the Amersham Road. The church, E.E. in style, dates from 1845, but was largely rebuilt in 1870. William Penn, the Quaker, was married here. There are many pretty walks through the Valley of the Chess, which flows between the village and Sarratt (_q.v._). _Church End_ is a small hamlet in the parish of Albury, 3 miles E. from Braughing Station, G.E.R. _Clapgate_, a hamlet on the river Ash, is close to Church End. _Clay End_ (11/2 mile S.E. from Walkern) is about equidistant--5 miles--from Stevenage or Westmill Stations. _Clay Hill_ is on the high road between Bushey and Bushey Heath (_q.v._).
