The Buckinghamshire Village Book

The Buckinghamshire Village Book is a celebration of the unique communities at the heart of a diverse and fascinating county.

Compiled by the Buckinghamshire Federation of the Women's Institutes, it gathers together descriptions of over 100 villages, recalling the history, people and events that make each one unique, and how their collective identity has shaped Buckinghamshire as a county.

From tranquil farmland, through rolling countryside and the chalky escarpment of the Chiltern Hills, to the busy waters of the River Thames, this is truly a region of contrasting lives and communities.

Despite the changes brought about by the modern age, these villages continue to thrive, providing a source of pride and delight to villagers and visitors alike.

The Buckinghamshire Village Book will appeal to those who have lived in the county all their lives and those visiting for the first time.
