About Amersham Old Town

Amersham Old Town presents a gentle dignity, a collection of buildings gathered around a broad, curving street that speaks of centuries of passage. It lies 1.3 km south-west of Amersham (from Amersham: bearing 215°T, OS grid SU 956 973). The Chiltern Hills cradle Amersham Old Town, their chalky slopes softened by a generous cloak of beech woodland, and the light here often possesses a peculiar clarity, catching the aged brickwork and the deep green of the surrounding fields. The market square, though no longer bustling with the daily trade of bygone eras, retains an air of quiet importance, its paving stones worn smooth by generations of footsteps and the occasional rumble of a market cart. St Mary's Church, with its dignified spire, stands as a quiet sentinel, its stone a pale grey against the ever-changing sky, a constant in the unfolding narrative of Amersham Old Town. Its character is that of a place content in its own history, a subtle elegance rather than a showy grandeur.
