Chesham Bois
Chesham Bois (traditionally , but now more commonly ) is a village in Buckinghamshire, England, adjacent to both Amersham and Chesham.
==History==
Initially a hamlet in the parish of Chesham, the manor was assessed at 1½ hides in the reign of King Edward the Confessor.
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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A history of Chesham Bois House )〕 The village gets its name from the de Bosco family (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.〔 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.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Details of the Cheyne family links for Chesham Bois )〕 Chesham Bois House, the site of the manor, was the subject of an archaeological excavation by television programme ''Time Team'', which was broadcast in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 in March 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Cheyne gang )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Discussion on Time Team Forum )〕
