Okay, so Frances did get married to Benjamin Cherry in 1791 - and perhaps this is him in this article on the web which explains his early demise! Perhaps Frances used her maiden name when she married again? Diana There are several other tales with a connection to Brickendon or WWE in Haunted Hertfordshire. One involves the bizarre tale of a Benjamin Cherry of Jenningsbury near Hertford Heath who killed himself, apparently by accident, by jumping into the moat at his home in December 1785 and his ghost was said to haunt the estate for years afterwards. Mr Cherry, an alderman of Hertford, is described as an eminent butcher and cattle dealer, and would appear to have been the grandfather of the Benjamin Cherry who built Brickendon Grange.
