Denham, Civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England
Denham is a village in Buckinghamshire with traditional brick and timber houses set along narrow lanes that lead to a central green. The Falcon inn, dating from the 16th century, stands beside this green space.
The place was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 with roots in Old English as a valley settlement. The 20th century brought film production to the area, making it known beyond its rural origins.
The former film studios shaped the village's identity during the 20th century through production of renowned British films. Though the site no longer exists, this heritage reminds visitors of a time when a small English village played an international role in cinema.
The village is easily reached from London via direct train service to Marylebone station. The journey from the city takes roughly 20 minutes, making it a convenient day-trip destination from the capital.
St. Mary's Church holds rare medieval artworks including a 13th-century font with round pillars and a 500-year-old wall painting of the Last Judgment. This wall painting is a remarkable survivor from a time when churches were decorated to teach illiterate visitors.
