Woburn Abbey, close to Woburn/Bedfordshire, England, is a rustic home and the seat of the Duke of Bedford. Woburn Abbey was initially based as a Cistercian abbey in 1145. Taken from its monastic residents by Henry VIII and given to John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford in 1547, it grew to become the seat of the Russell Household and the Dukes of Bedford. The Abbey was largely rebuilt beginning in 1744 by the architects Henry Flitcroft and Henry Holland for the 4th Duke.  

Duchess Anna Maria, originated the afternoon tea ritual in Nineteenth-century England.

The artwork assortment of the Duke of Bedford, is amongst the best in personal palms, and encompasses a variety of western paintings. The holdings, comprise some 250 work, together with works by Rubens, Van Dyck, Canaletto (24 work (View of the Entrance to the Venetian Arsenal, c. 1732 – considered one of Canaletto’s biggest works)) and Velasquez.
