Starting at Chesham Bois Parish Centre (as per previous walks) this walk will be around the outskirts of Chesham Bois Common, looking at the history of Chesham Bois from the early Manor Farms, through the development of the village after the railway to WWII.
We will talk about the architects and developers who built the houses and the artists, artisans and social campaigners who lived in them. Mostly level walk of around 2 miles but some climbing through woodland and on common paths.
