Historically, Amersham was a centre for the 'Lollards'. These were Christians who wished to read the Bible in English as translated by John Wycliffe (as opposed to the obscurity of Latin), and were burnt at the stake for doing so during the years 1506 to 1522. 2011 marks the 80th anniversary of the unveiling of a special memorial to them in the corner of a field above Old Amersham.

Amersham Old Town is popular with visitors and locals alike, with its half-timbered buildings, picturesque period cottages and a wonderful selection of exclusive designer-clothing and antique/craft shops. Old Town attractions include the award winning Amersham Museum, the Market Hall, St. Mary's Parish Church, the Memorial Gardens and the Martyrs' Memorial. We are also close to Windsor, London and The River Thames with all their various attractions, many historical houses, gardens and picturesque villages made famous by film and TV.
