The Chilterns are a wonderful treat. Just a short journey from the centre of London, you are in the most beautiful countryside. If you live walks with a pub stop at many destinations, this is for you.

This church was built in 1846 in Early English Gothic style. It is a Grade II listed building. The churchyard is quite beautiful, too. The church feels like it should be in a much quieter village and location - has that quaint, calming air to it.

Right next to The Church of St Mary here at the heart of Amersham, there is a really beautiful Garden of Remembrance and War Memorial dedicated to those who fell in World War 1. As for the church, it's a very old one, dating from the 13th century. The history of the church includes the persecution of the Lollards (16th century) when a group of locals known as Amersham Martyrs were burnt at the stake on the hill above the town. Since 1958, the church has been a Grade I listed building.
