Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RICKMANSWORTH , an urban
district
  in the Watford parliamentary division of
Hertfordshire
 , England; 171 m. W.N.W. of London by the Metropolitan & Great Central joint railway; served also by a branch of the London & North Western railway from Watford. Pop. (Igor) 5627. It lies in a pleasant valley at the junction of the Chess with the Colne, and on the Grand Junction canal. The church of St Mary, with the exception of the tower a modern reconstruction, contains some French stained glass of the 16th century. The
chief
  industries are brewing and art-printing. The Colne here holds large trout, which are carefully preserved. The grounds of Moor Park to the south-
east
  are finely wooded, and the mansion, belonging to Lord Ebury, is a good example of the period of George I. The estate counts among its former owners such famous names as the Botelers; George Neville, archbishop of
York
 ; John de Vere,
earl
  of Oxford in Henry VII.'s time; Wolsey in the next reign; Robert Carey,
earl
  of Monmouth, and the duke of Monmouth.
