The archivist will draw on the riches of Buckinghamshire’s county record office to show us material specifically relating to Chesham, including early maps, photos, parish registers, Lowndes’ documents and other items requested by our group. The Centre will be closed to the general public on that day. Members: £5. Guests: £10. Places are limited so early booking is essential.

The Chiltern Open Air Museum was founded in 1976 with the aim of rescuing threatened local buildings which would otherwise be lost. Since then, 35 examples of ‘vernacular’ buildings have been rescued and re-erected at the site. This huge achievement has created a lively, diverse and fascinating collection with exhibits ranging from a post-war ‘prefab’ to a Victorian toll house, a tin chapel, a furniture factory, a fully-functioning Edwardian public convenience and a historic Chilterns farm. We have organised a 90 minute guided tour of buildings around the Village Green, leaving time for further exploration of the site and a visit to the café before closing time at 5pm. Paths are not ideal for wheelchairs, but mobility scooters can be booked in advance. Places are limited so early booking is essential.
