Hi, Check out this site: _http://www.compassion-in-business.co.uk/brickendon/brick2.htm_ (http://www.compassion-in-business.co.uk/brickendon/brick2.htm) Also, found another version of Benjamin's death: Jenningsbury Farm The ghost which haunts Jenningsbury Farm is believed to be that of Benjamin Cherry who killed himself for no known reason just before Christmas 1785. Cherry was an Alderman of Hertford and an eminent butcher and cattle dealer who, when he died, left a fortune of some £30,000. On the day when he died Cherry had been talking to the bailiff at his farm. He sent the man off to turn out some people who were in an adjoining field then it is said that he threw himself into the moat. When the bailiff returned he tried to revive Benjamin Cherry but it was too late. For many years after the event Cherry’s spirit would roam the farm, shake the well bucket and chain and generally cause alarm to the residents of the farmhouse. He was also known to appear in the road alongside the farm where he would frighten travellers. According to legend his spirit would never appear after midnight. Perhaps it would be an idea to find Cherry's will to see if Frances was in it?: The Grange estate originated in copyhold and freehold land of the manor of Brickendon Bury, purchased by Benjamin Cherry of Hertford, gent., and by him bequeathed to his brother John Cherry. The mansion now known as the Grange was built by Benjamin son of John Cherry about the middle of the last century. The property has recently been sold by Mr. B. L. Cherry, grandson of Benjamin Cherry, to Mr. John Trotter, who resides at the Grange.
