Randonnées The Lee Village

en

(C) The Lee is one of the most beautiful villages in the Chilterns. Its name derives from the Old English ‘leah’ meaning ‘a clearing in a wood’. The village encircles its large green, and has many beautiful brick houses. One of them is Lee Manor, once home to the Liberty family (owners of Liberty's department store in London). Sir Arthur Liberty bought the last two wooden hulks from the Royal Navy and used timber from them to construct Liberty's 'Tudor' shop facade. Only one ship had a figurehead, that of Admiral Lord Howe, hero of the battle of Ushant in 1794. It was brought to The Lee and planted at the top of the back drive to the Manor. It was moved to its present site at Pipers, a few hundred metres from the green, following the death of Sir Arthur's nephew in 1952. The Lee has been used many times as a location for the TV series Midsomer Murders.
