Woburn Abbey
near Woburn, Bedfordshire - Duke of Bedford
"Here was in early times a monastery of the Cistercian order, founded in 1146 by
Hugh de Boledac, incited to the work, it is recorded, by the Abbot of Fountains Abbey.
These abbey lands were given by King Edward the Sixth to John, Lord Russell, soon afterwards
created Earl of Bedford, in whose family they have remained ever since.
The building, as may be supposed, has been variously altered from time to time. The
present mansion was built by the forth duke.
Woburn Abbey was visited by Queen Elizabeth in 1572, and by King Charles the First in 1645."
