The Entrance to Park Farm Chartley The Chartley herd of white cattle dates back to about 1248. The descendants of these cattle remained in Chartley Park until 1905, when the 10th Earl Ferrers sold them. In 1970, the present Earl Ferrers bought back the whole of the Chartley herd, which was at Woburn Abbey. At this time there were twenty-four animals. Four months later when the cattle arrived, the number had increased to thirty-three. I can't find a figure for numbers now.
