The Capital and Chesney Wold

Chesney Wold symbolizes a great deal of wealth and power within Bleak House. It stands for the static ordering of society and indicates the top of the British class system. As a landowner, Sir Leicester has the most input over the majority of the country. As one of the 'great country families', he is determined that the world should run as he and the House of Lords would order it. He will change things as he sees fit and his wife, Lady Dedlock, has without a doubt married him in order to join him in this luxury.
