Julian Hunt's history of Amsersham, new in paperback

Gerrards Cross has evolved from a hunting ground in the 1790s into a desirable retreat for the wealthy by the 1860s, earning the nickname 'the Brighton of Bucks.' The picturesque landscape features Latchmore Pond and elegant homes surrounding the Common, alongside St James's Church. The 1906 railway station further transformed the area, enabling Londoners to embrace life in 'Beechy Bucks,' highlighting the town's appeal as a charming escape from the city.

A pictorial history of Winslow, presented through a series of photographs and images. It also includes historical captions.

Buckingham means literally ‘the land of Bucca’s people in the bend of the river’, a small Saxon village. The success of this campaign made the castle redundant and Buckingham lagged behind trading centres such as Aylesbury. In recent times Buckingham has reversed this trend, with the Buckingham Development Company and Its University. “...beautifully produced, and should give pleasure to both the scholar and the layperson.” Chiltern Open Air Museum Newsletter
