Chesham, Market town in Buckinghamshire, England.

Situated in the Chess Valley, Chesham extends across both agricultural lands and suburban areas, forming a substantial community of over 23,000 residents.

The weekly market tradition in Chesham dates back to 1257 when Henry III granted the town a royal charter for commercial activities.

The town maintains strong international connections through active twinning arrangements with Houilles in France, Friedrichsdorf in Germany, and Archena in Spain.

The Metropolitan Line terminus station connects Chesham directly to central London, making it a strategic location for professionals working in the capital.

The four historical pillars of Chesham's industry were boots, beer, brushes, and Baptist churches, shaping the town's development through generations.
