Amersham, Market town in Chiltern Hills, England

Amersham consists of two distinct sections: Old Amersham nestled in the Misbourne Valley and Amersham-on-the-Hill developed near the railway station.

The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded Amersham, then called Agmodesham, as a settlement held by Geoffrey de Mandeville with substantial agricultural operations.

The Market Hall from 1682 stands as a central structure in the Old Town, previously containing the town jail and now serving community functions.

The Metropolitan Line terminates at Amersham station, providing direct train connections to central London while the A413 road links to the M25 motorway.

The Grade II-listed High & Over house, constructed in 1931, represents one of England's first modern movement houses in the art deco style.
