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.
Between 1945 and 1950, Pathé News photographer Wally Newton captured Chalfont St Giles on camera. Decades later, he returned to record villagers’ memories and family photos, creating a remarkable visual archive. Drawing on these images and contemporary newspaper reports, Tony Ferguson—local author, historian and storyteller—brings 20th-century Chalfont St Giles vividly to life.
Enoy the nostalgia, rich local history, and a few surprises!
