Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Chenies is a village in the very eastern part of south Buckinghamshire, England, near the border with Hertfordshire. It is situated to the east of Chesham and the Chalfonts.

Until the 13th century, the village name was Isenhampstead. There were two villages here, called Isenhampstead Chenies and Isenhampstead Latimers, distinguished by the lords of the manors of those two places. In the 19th century the prefix was dropped and the two villages became known as Chenies and Latimer.

Near this village there was once a royal palace, where both King Edward I and King Edward III were known to have resided. It was Edward I's shield bearer, Thomas Cheyne, who first gave his name to the village. Chenies Manor House was built around 1460 by Sir John Cheyne.

Several paper mills were once established in Chenies, operated by the River Chess, which flowed here from further west in Buckinghamshire.
