 Social Diary - 6/19/03 - Duke of Bedford
The 14th Duke of Bedford, who died yesterday (6/13) aged 63, was a successful stockbroker in the City and the devoted custodian of Woburn Abbey, the family's 13,000-acre estate in Bedfordshire.
Initially reluctant to take on the vast responsibility of the Woburn "circus" - and weary of the endless questions as to the whereabouts of the nudists (notoriously introduced into the grounds by his father in the 1950s) - Tavistock grew to be a devoted custodian of the estate.
He is survived by his wife and their three sons, the eldest of whom, Andrew Ian Henry Russell, born in 1962, succeeds to the dukedom; last year he took over the running of Woburn from his father.
