History of Amersham
Julian Hunt is making a welcome return to Aylesbury on the 21st October to talk about the history of Amersham.
The town has seen many changes from being a Rotten Borough and market town to a well to do commuter land celebrated by John Betjeman's Metroland. Victorian Amersham was shaped through the influence of the Drake family and later had a new beginning with the coming of the railway.
Our Aylesbury venue has changed, we are now based in Turnfurlong Junior School, Turnfurlng Lane, Aylesbury. HP21 7PL
Exchange Journals
Journals of other Family History Societies are now available on our website. For many years FHSs have exchanged paper copies of their magazines and journals. As Societies move to exchange digital copies we are able to put these on our website so our members can read them. Paper copies were only available at Society meetings or by post so many more of our members now have access to them.
