Russell family and Bedford Estates, Earls and Dukes of Bedford
Dates: Seventeenth to eighteenth centuries in this holding context
Biography
The Russell family became the holders of the Bedford title and accumulated a substantial landed estate. The cited local and estate-history sources connect the Bedford interest specifically with Abbots Worthy manorial rights.
Notes / Sources
Recorded as a family and estate holding because the sources do not identify a single individual conveyance for Abbots Worthy.
