River Chess. Below Latimer Park Farm, which has a lake formed from the River Chess, it appears that another small lake has been created here, as the river is wider than one would expect.
Latimer House. Latimer House. Built in 1838 and replacing an old manor house on the site, this was originally the home of Lord Chesham. From 1947 to 1983 it was used as the Joint Services Staff College, which existed to train officers to fill joint command and staff appointments by studying modern war on a joint service basis and by widening their knowledge of inter-service problems.
