About Chesham Museum

Chesham Museum was founded in 2004. It is a community organisation, conceived and run by local volunteers, with funding mainly through the efforts of its supporters with the support of local businesses, schools and the wider population. Its first home was in the former stables of a public house ‘The Gamekeeper’s Lodge’ in Bellingdon Rd, and it relocated, in 2009, to 15 Market Square, Chesham until June 2017 when a change in circumstances meant it was forced to close its doors. Since then the museum has maintained a strong online presence through its website and social media channels, helping to provide a connection to its audiences and users both local, visitors and researchers from across the world. Most recently its has worked hard to raise funds and volunteer support to develop this new website to bring the best of its exhibitions, collections, events and opportunities to enjoy and engage with the town’s rich history. In early 2024 the museum will re-open in a new exhibition space in Chesham Town Hall. Visit us to discover the history of Chesham’s people and places. Share your ideas about how we can create a new museum together. The museum aims to educate visitors about the rich history of Chesham and its past inhabitants. Its collection primarily deal with things that are associated with Chesham, but also the outer-lying areas: Asheridge, Ashley Green, Ballinger, Bellingdon, Chartridge, Hyde Heath, Latimer, Lee Common and Ley Hill. It offers insights into a unique history of social reform and industry in Buckinghamshire, the fourth largest town. Chesham Museum is a registered charity.
