Chesham (c-eniconˈtʃɛʃəm, c-enlocalˈtʃɛsəm, or c-enˈtʃɛzəm) is a market town in the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire, England. It is located 11 miles south-east of the county town of Aylesbury. Chesham is also a civil parish designated a town council within Chiltern district. It is situated in the Chess Valley and surrounded by farmland, as well as being bordered on one side by Amersham and Chesham Bois. The earliest records of Chesham as a settlement are from the second half of the 10th century although there is archaeological evidence of people in the area from around 8000 BC.

The town is known for its four Bs, usually quoted as:- boots, beer, brushes and Baptists. Chesham's prosperity grew significantly during the 18th and 19th centuries with the development of manufacturing industry.

In the face of fierce competition from both home and abroad all these traditional industries rapidly declined. The ready availability of skilled labour encouraged new industries to the town both before and after the end of the Second World War. Today employment in the town is provided by mainly small business engaged in light industry, technology and professional services.

From the early part of the 20th century onwards there has been a considerable expansion of the town with new housing developments and civic infrastructure. Increasingly Chesham has also become a commuter town with improved connection to London via the Underground and road networks. The town centre has been progressively redeveloped since the 1960s and was pedestrianised in the 1990s. The population of the town has increased to slightly over 20,000 but further growth has been restricted because the area forms part of the Metropolitan Green Belt.

Finished November 2006 Filmed in Chesham and Prestwood Some shots missing because some people were difficult and at the beginning you don't see the guy because I thought it would be nice to keep his identity a secret to begin with.

From the Confederate soldiers who left families and longed for home, to my Uncle Beacher who said a prayer each time he left for work in the coal mines, to the strength and devotion of God-fearing mountain people, to the heartache, loss and even the little nicknames we give people we love, these songs tell the stories that many families share of past and present. With pride in our Southern heritage, we must never forget the people who left us this legacy. Visit our website at www.cheshamcreek.com for news and an updated schedule! (more)
