Chesham : Thomas Harding Junior School

"Born c. 1470, Harding lived in Amersham and then Chesham, where he was a farmer. He was a member of the Lollard community and believed in the right to read the scriptures in English. As a result of his unconventional beliefs he was found guilty of heresy and sentenced to be burnt to death at a place now known as Martyr’s Dell on White Hill. Harding was, however, spared a fiery death. As the fire was being lit, someone in the crowd threw a piece of firewood which hit him on the head and killed him instantly." - Link

Chesham station, street entrance

A very humble station now, with just a single terminating track. Once there was a quite large goods yard behind the camera to the left, now a car park. The station buildings, including the disused signal box and water tower, are grade II listed.
