SUMMARY:Chairmaking at Amersham Museum
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Chilterns Chair Festival\nTraditional green woodworking techniques are central to the history of the Chilterns\, where bodgers set up workshops in the woods\, making chair components from the abundant beech and ash that grew in the area. \nThese traditions influenced later generations of chairmakers\, including greenwoodworkers in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States. In turn\, their skills and techniques inspired makers such as Jennie Alexander\, whose influential book Make a Chair from a Tree\, first published in 1978\, helped reintroduce green woodworking to a wider audience. \nThe book sparked renewed interest in a craft with deep roots in the Chilterns and encouraged an exchange of ideas across the Atlantic that continues today. \nEd and Graham from London Green Wood will demonstrate techniques that would have been familiar to 19th-century bodgers as they create the components for a Jennie Alexander chair over the course of two days at the Amersham Museum. \n  \nBio:\nLondon Green Wood is a members-run co-operative of green woodworkers based in Hackney. They have two outdoor workshops and regularly run courses in green woodwork and basket weaving. www.londongreenwood.com \n

SUMMARY:Talk: An Introduction to Book Conservation\, seen through the lens of the Amersham Museum Bible
DESCRIPTION:(Price including glass of wine or soft drink) \nLocation: Amersham Museum \nAmersham Museum is marking Tyndale 500\, the 500th anniversary of the first New Testament in English\, with a range of events and activities. With support from The Amersham Society\, this includes commissioning the conservation of the early English bible in the museum’s collection. The work is being carried out by accredited book and archives conservator\, Ann-Marie Miller ACR. \nIn this talk\, Anne-Marie will introduce us to the discipline of Book Conservation and how she became a conservator. If you have seen the BBC’s “Repair Shop” or “Hidden Treasures of the National Trust\,” you will have an inkling about how books are repaired but perhaps not the difference between restoration and conservation. Ann-Marie will explain the differences in approach and then explore the recent conservation work on the Amersham Museum’s 17th century Bible. You will be able to see how the conservation work was performed and why this work is so important. \nAnn-Marie Miller ACR is Director of Codex Conservation Ltd\, a busy workshop that serves national museums\, academic institutions\, corporate archives\, and collectors. Following an undergraduate degree at the Courtauld Institute of Art\, she achieved her PG Dip and MA in Conservation at Camberwell College of Art. Now with over two decades of hands-on experience\, Ann-Marie works as an accredited book and archives conservator and is a passionate advocate for preserving history and empowering the next generation of conservators. \nBeyond her technical expertise\, she’s a mentor\, educator\, and leader—providing teaching\, collection care advice\, and paid internships to nurture emerging talent. She is a Collections Assessor for the Association of Independent Museums and a specialist assessor and mentor for the Institute of Conservation Professional Accreditation Scheme. As a Freeman of the City of London and Liveryman of the Stationers and Newspaper Makers Company\, she maintains deep connections with London’s heritage and book production community. \nIn 2020\, Ann-Marie co-founded Impact Heritage CIC to support community collections to achieve funding\, develop skills and create paid opportunities for emerging conservators. Already\, five talented conservators have launched their careers through this initiative\, gaining practical experience and working alongside volunteers to champion conservation practice. \nNotes \nThe talk will be in the Museum’s Woodcock Room which is on the first floor\, accessed by a platform lift. There is more information about accessibility in our access statement here: Please get in touch with any queries about accessibility\, or any requirements that we might need to know about to make your visit as straightforward as possible. \nPlease make sure you have checked details before ordering tickets. It is necessary for the museum to charge a cancellation fee of £1 to cover credit card and administration costs.

SUMMARY:Summer in the Medicinal Garden - A Walk with a Medical Herbalist
DESCRIPTION:£10 per person \nThere is something about walking into a medicinal garden in summer – the smell of crushed lemon balm on your fingers\, the hum of bees in the marshmallow flowers\, the silver dust of wormwood\, the soft green of lady’s mantle holding the morning dew. Join local medical herbalist Kristine De Block for a slow walk among the plants in season at Amersham Museum’s medicinal garden. We’ll look closely at the herbs growing in the beds – the familiar and the half-forgotten\, the kitchen plants and the older medicines – and explore the old herbal idea that every plant\, like every person\, has its own temperament. Kristine will share folklore\, traditional uses\, modern medicinal understanding\, and the way these plants are still being used today by a practising medical herbalist in a busy herbal clinic and dispensary. No prior knowledge needed – just curiosity\, a love for plants\, and a notebook if you like.

SUMMARY:Workshop for adults: Exploring Rosaceae - the botanical rose family
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 May 16th \nIn partnership with Wild Amersham\, these 2 workshops for adults offer a relaxed introduction to the concept of a ‘Plant Family’\, by exploring the Rose family\, Rosaceae. This is not a family exclusively of roses – it is also home to a diverse array of other plants. These include many of our domestic fruits (Cherries\, Strawberries\, Apples\, Raspberries)\, as well as garden plants (Potentilla\, Spiraea\, Alchemilla) and wildflowers (Wood Avens\, Agrimony and Tormentil). Both workshops will include a visit to the Museum Garden\, to explore the Rose Family members growing there.  \nUnder the guidance of local botanist Karen van Oostrum\, you will discover why such diverse species are included within the same family. Karen will take you through the key features of plants in Rosaceae\, giving you the opportunity to look carefully at the structures of leaves\, flowers and fruits from a range of species. The two workshops are linked\, and you are encouraged to attend both. However\, each is a standalone session\, so you are also welcome to book them individually. \nYou may wish to bring a notebook and pen. A wildflower guide or hand lens can also be helpful if you have them\, but there is no need to purchase these if you don’t. \n  \nWorkshop 1 May 16th includes an introduction to Plant Families and a look at the vegetative and floral features of Rosaceae. \nWorkshop 2 includes an overview of the various fruit forms (drupes\, hips\, achenes and pomes) of the Rose family\, and we will delve into the historical significance of Rosaceae in our local area. \n  \nWorkshop 2 begins by examining how fruits develop from flowers. Karen will then introduce the remarkable diversity of fruit types found within Rosaceae\, including drupes\, hips\, achenes\, pomes and the intriguing strawberry “false fruit”. You will never look at an apple or a raspberry in quite the same way again. There will be plenty of fruits available for careful observation – and for tasting\, once your work is done. We will finish by exploring the historical significance of Rosaceae in our local area. \n  \n \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Part 2 June 29th \nIn partnership with Wild Amersham\, these 2 workshops for adults offer a relaxed introduction to the concept of a ‘Plant Family’\, by exploring the Rose family\, Rosaceae. This is not a family exclusively of roses – it is also home to a diverse array of other plants. These include many of our domestic fruits (Cherries\, Strawberries\, Apples\, Raspberries)\, as well as garden plants (Potentilla\, Spiraea\, Alchemilla) and wildflowers (Wood Avens\, Agrimony and Tormentil). Both workshops will include a visit to the Museum Garden\, to explore the Rose Family members growing there.  \nUnder the guidance of local botanist Karen van Oostrum\, you will discover why such diverse species are included within the same family. Karen will take you through the key features of plants in Rosaceae\, giving you the opportunity to look carefully at the structures of leaves\, flowers and fruits from a range of species. The two workshops are linked\, and you are encouraged to attend both. However\, each is a standalone session\, so you are also welcome to book them individually. \nYou may wish to bring a notebook and pen. A wildflower guide or hand lens can also be helpful if you have them\, but there is no need to purchase these if you don’t. \nWorkshop 1 includes an introduction to Plant Families and a look at the vegetative and floral features of Rosaceae. \nWorkshop 2 June 29th includes an overview of the various fruit forms (drupes\, hips\, achenes and pomes) of the Rose family\, and we will delve into the historical significance of Rosaceae in our local area. \n  \nWorkshop 1 begins with an introduction to the concept of a plant family. Karen will explain what a plant family is\, how it relates to classification and taxonomy\, and why it is useful. Participants will then explore the vegetative features (leaves and stems) of species within Rosaceae\, with key botanical terms introduced along the way. You will see how these features aid identification\, with plenty of plant material available for close observation and for practising your descriptive skills. \nWe will then move on to the floral features of Rosaceae species. Karen will explain the functions of the main flower parts (sepals\, petals\, stamens and carpels) and the different ways they can be arranged. You will discover how flower structure supports identification\, again using fresh material for careful observation and hands-on practice. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Talk: From Wyclif through Tyndale and beyond: The Reformation in Amersham
DESCRIPTION:St Mary’s Church\, Old Amersham \n£5 suggested donation \nIn partnership with the Tyndale Society and St Mary’s Church\, we are marking Tyndale500\, the 500th anniversary of the first New Testament in English. \nAmersham was very hospitable to Lollardy\, the heretical movement which flowed from the ideas of John Wyclif (d.1384). Lollards stressed the importance of the Bible in English\, but copies were only available in manuscript and their ownership was forbidden.  Despite persecution\, Lollardy persisted in Amersham\, through to the early sixteenth century. In 1526 William Tyndale produced the first printed translation of the New Testament\, which was also the first translation from the original Greek. It proved impossible to control its distribution and it was to change English-speaking religion for ever. \nAndrew Hope grew up in the Weald of Kent\, another area with traditions of Lollardy. He read history at Cambridge\, and has undertaken post-graduate work at the Universities of Leeds and Oxford. He was a founder member of the Tyndale Society and has been editor of ‘Reformation’\, its academic journal. He has published a number of articles on Lollardy and the early Reformation.” \n  \nPlease make sure you have checked details before ordering tickets. It is necessary for the museum to charge a cancellation fee of £1 to cover credit card and administration costs. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Valentine’s Day & the herbal heart: History\, folklore & tasting evening
DESCRIPTION:£13 including a glass of wine or soft drink \nEver wondered what Valentine’s Day looked like before supermarket roses and pink cards? Local medical herbalist Kristine De Block invites you to an evening of tasting and storytelling that follows Valentine’s Day back to saints\, secret notes\, midwinter rituals about health\, luck\, and getting people safely through the dark of the year. \nFrom there we turn to the medicinal plants. You’ll explore some of the herbs people have reached for when the heart is in trouble – racing with nerves\, heavy with grief\, tangled up in love\, or simply too tired to care. Kristine will introduce a few classic “heart herbs”\, share the folklore and real stories wrapped around them\, and talk about simple preparations you can make in an ordinary kitchen. \nYou’ll go home with a very different sense of what Valentine’s Day can mean\, and a handful of herbal ideas to play with at home. No prior knowledge needed – just curiosity and a love for natural things. \nNotes\nThe talk will be in the Museum’s Woodcock Room which on the first floor\, accessed by a platform lift. There is more information about accessibility in our access statement here: Please get in touch with any queries about accessibility\, or any requirements that we might need to know about to make your visit as straightforward as possible. \nPlease make sure you have checked details before ordering tickets.

SUMMARY:The birth of the suburbs and Metro-Land
DESCRIPTION:(Including glass of wine or soft drink) \nAs recently as the early 1900’s\, you didn’t need to venture far out of London to find open fields. Areas like Wembley and Harrow were undeveloped. Familiar names on the Tube Map today\, were small isolated towns or villages. \nWhat we now know as Old Amersham is long established having been mentioned as Agmodesham in the Domesday Book. But\, prior to the railways arrival\, there were only a scattering of buildings in what is now Amersham-on-the-Hill\, Chesham Bois and Amersham Common\, with even less at Little Chalfont. Their development came about due to an early twentieth century phenomenon\, Metro-land or as we now know it Metroland. \nCopies of our new book signed by the contributors\, All Aboard to Amersham will be for sale at the event\, alternatively buy a combined talk plus book ticket and get the book for £7.50\, normal price £8.50. \nJoin Ralph Hilsdon\, museum volunteer and railway historian\, to explore the story of the impact that the development of the railway had on Amersham and the surrounding area. \n  \n  \nPlease make sure you have checked details before ordering tickets. It is necessary for the museum to charge a cancellation fee of £1 to cover credit card and administration costs.
