'A place of quiet beauty, full of life' - A look back at Chesham as it was

In 1907 the Rev, Alfred Hanson (1844 - 1922, a retired Baptist pastor who had pastored Bovingdon and then Flaunden Baptist churches), gave a talk to Chesham Hinton Baptist Church Men’s Own group, which was recorded in the local press. Here, Neil Rees has adapted it but kept the Rev. Hanson’s words, and added in dates where necessary.
