Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amersham
2025: " Amersham (/ˈæmərʃəm/ AM-ər-shəm) is a market town and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, in the Chiltern Hills, 27 miles (43 km) northwest of central London, 15 miles (24 km) south-east of Aylesbury and 9 miles (14 km) north-east of High Wycombe. Amersham is part of the London commuter belt.
There are two distinct areas:
- Old Amersham, set in the valley of the River Misbourne, containing the 13th-century parish church of St. Mary's and several old pubs and coaching inns
- Amersham-on-the-Hill, which grew in the early 20th century around Amersham station, which was served by the Metropolitan Railway (now the Metropolitan line) and the Great Central Railway.
Amersham-on-the-Hill has a free church which is United Reformed and Baptist [21] and the Church of England St Michael & All Angels.[22]
In Old Amersham stands the Grade I listed Church of England St Mary's Church, a 13th-century building that has been altered over the years. The present exterior is largely Victorian but the building contains a 14th-century font, 17th-century glass from Lamer Manor in Hertfordshire, and monuments in the chancel and in the Drake Chapel to 17th- and 18th-century notables.[23][24]
Also in the town there is the Grade II* listed Amersham Meeting House (a Quaker meeting house),[25] a Methodist church in the High Street,[26] and King's Church Amersham, a free church.[27] "
