In this we love to be able to shine a light on the wonderful work that our volunteers do. Julia Godwin and Linda Gould were recognised as Community Champions in Amersham Town Council’s recent awards, and we are delighted that a group of our volunteers are attending an ‘unsung heroes’ garden party later this month, kindly hosted by the Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire.

Happy 35th Birthday to Amersham Museum! To mark our anniversary, we are sharing milestones and images from the museum’s history throughout the year. Amersham Museum at 49 High Street was officially opened by the Earl and Countess Howe at 2pm on 23 March 1991. In 1986 an excavation of the museum’s garden and ground floor was carried out. Medieval rubbish pits, additional foundations and two earlier hearths were discovered, suggesting an earlier building perhaps from the 1200s on the site. Restoration work by Millwright's International began on the building in 1986, but 3 years later the building company went into liquidation, leaving a team of volunteers aided by a small local firm to finish the work.

Interested in the history of Amersham? Come along to a new talk at - 'Amersham in the 1960s and 1970s' June 17 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm


The 1960s & 1970s saw dramatic changes in British society and these were reflected here in Amersham. The growth in housing, changes in shopping & retail habits and in transport all combined to make Amersham a vibrant community nestling in the Chilterns at the end of the Met Line. Pete Healy gives a flavour of what life was like over these important decades.

To book go to Events on the Museum website https://amershammuseum.org/event/amersham-in-the-1960s-and-1970s/
