A Worthy Cause: Please support us to help preserve this ancient church
In the centre of the vibrant village of Chalfont St. Giles is the beautiful Church. It dates from about 1150 and houses wall paintings from the early 14th century, 16th century brasses, a locally made clock and much more. It's a place of worship and community - a place for weddings, baptisms and contemplation. The Friends help to support the preservation of the fabric of the church, its art and ornaments, environs and heritage.

Village History Pictorial History Talk - Fri 17 April, 7pm, Memorial Hall
Between 1945-50, Wally Newton took a series of photographs of Chalfont St Giles. Half a century later, many of the older residents of the village recorded their memories in Village Voices. Combined with contemporary newspaper articles, parish records and private collections, this talk by Tony Ferguson (author, historian and storyteller) will trace the evolution of Chalfont St Giles in the 20th century. Fascinating local history, nostalgia,and an opportunity to share your own memories of a bygone age...
