The Amersham Society |
The activities of the Amersham Society, which was founded
in 1956, will interest all who care about Amersham Old Town and want to
preserve its character and amenities. A key aim of the Society is to be
actively involved in the conservation of a living town, not just preservation
of the past. We study all planning applications for the old town opposing plans
where necessary to maintain the character of the town, and encourage
sympathetic conversion of old buildings and high standards of design in new
developments. The Society is involved in environmental issues of public concern
and welcomes the views of its members. We have published leaflets to help
visitors to enjoy the historic town. Amersham Society members enjoy monthly
lectures and discussion in the town's 17th century Market Hall from September
to April. During the summer months there is a programme of visits to places of
interest. The newsletter, published three times a year, keeps members in touch.
One of the early aims of the Amersham Society was to set up a Museum.
