Chesham Community Museum

A new CHAPTER in Chesham Museum's History

In order to move in to number 15 Market Square, the Trustees need to raise a total of £20,000, most of it within the next three months. Please help us raise this money by:

• donating online at MyCharityPage.com/charities.php (type 'Chesham' in the search box)
• sending a cheque to our Honorary Treasurer Ruth Freeman, Chesham Museum - The Stables, Bellingdon Road, Chesham, HP5 2NN
• making a donation at Barclays Bank, 79 High Street, Chesham, or Orbit Press, 11 Market Square Chesham

Chesham Museum is currently located in The Stables in Bellingdon Road in premises that are now too small for the growing collection of local history artefacts, documents and photographs. Our current premises are also unsuitable for the museum's planned development as a Community Museum to serve Chesham and the surrounding hamlets.

The premises of Chapter One bookshop at number 15 Market Square, Chesham have just became available and we are appealing for funds to enable us to relocate to these premises.

We feel that the presence of a Community Museum in the town will stimulate interest amongst the townspeople and encourage visitors from outside the town to come and join in educational and cultural activities which we plan to put on, as well as providing a permanent focus for Chesham's heritage.

The Trustees of the museum and the owners of number 15 are keen for the museum to be relocated there - it is an historic building and has space for a variety of community based activities as well as more display and storage space than we have at present - in short it is eminently suitable for our purposes.

Thank you for your support
The Trustees of Chesham Museum - The Stables
