Chesham in the Press
There is nothing quite like an historic newspaper report for conveying information, not only about an incident, but also for demonstrating what our ancestors thought about it and the ways in which they reacted to it.
This book takes a look at a number of newspaper reports about life in Chesham, presented chronologically between the years 1700 and 2000 – some comic, some tragic and all illustrating aspects of everyday life which were normal to people at the time of writing, but which we might well find unusual today.
Read what our forebears here in Chesham were up to in days gone by!
