Amersham – 6 Quirky Facts
- Poorhouse
In 1838 Amersham opened the doors of its workhouse. Poor men, women and children were sent to work here. These were hard places and those living here were employed in tasks such as breaking flints, shoe repairs, rug making and farming. - Oliver’s Army
Oliver Cromwell moved his family to the area during the English Civil war. Other famous Amersham faces include Katy Brand (comedian), Ruth Ellis, Eddie Howe (football manager) and Sir Tim Rice were all born in Amersham. During WWII Amersham had a maternity hospital, somewhere for London mothers to have their babies away from the blitz. - It’s Famous!
Well, it’s certainly been in the movies. Being close to Pinewood Studios it’s perhaps not surprising that this picturesque town has had a few cameos on the big screen. Four Weddings and A Funeral, Hammer House of Horror, Carve Her Name With Pride, Midsomer Murders, Cuckoo, and The Jigsaw Man have all been filmed here. - Amersham Martyrs
The Martyrs Memorial, is a tribute to the 6 men and 1 woman who were tried, convicted and sentenced for heresy. They were Lollards, a group of people working in secret to have the Bible printed in English and for prayers to be said in English so that poorer people could understand them better. They also stood against the wealth of the church. Clearly not popular opinions with wealthy clergy, Lollards were persecuted and put to death. The Amersham Martyrs were burnt at the steak for their crimes. William Tylesworth was the first to be killed and his daughter Joan was forced to light the fire. - Amersham Museum
Though not a large town, Amersham does have its own museum which fittingly is located in the town’s oldest building, a Tudor barn. The museum also has a very attractive garden full of excellent plants, some with healing qualities. - Submariners
The town was attacked during WWII by a bombing raid, thankfully no homes or property were destroyed. Perhaps it was this event that upset the local folk so much that they started raising funds for the war effort. A giant thermometer was set up outside a local bank to show progress and the final donations were used the buy a submarine for the Royal Navy.
