There you’ll come across the Baroque Market Hall, which went up in 1692 and was paid for by th...

The Amersham Museum was reworked recently and opened again in summer 2017 with an updated layout and new space for activities and temporary shows.

Both here and in the chancel there’s an array of funerary monu...

The paths here converge at a central fountain and are edged by flowerbeds, which burst into colour in spring and summer and are given special designs. In 2018 for example there was a 3D display of First World Wa...
Mainly used as a wedding venue, this 16th-century brick mansion can be visited April to October on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons.

For centuries this property belonged to ...

There’s real English literary history close to the Open Air Museum in the village of Chalfont St Giles. This 16th-century timber-framed cottage is where the 17th-century poet John Milton came in 1665 to escape a plague outbreak in London. In that time Milton, despite being blind at this point in his life, worked on his most famous poems, finishing ...
The oldest original model village in the world is in striking distance of Amersham. Bekonscot sprouted as long ago as 1929 and most of its model buildings are from the 1930s. The village was never supposed to be a tourist attraction, and was a labour of love for the accountant Roland Callingham. Bekonscot gained national attention in the 30s via ne...
