SUMMARY:The history of Amersham through place names
DESCRIPTION:£10 per person including a glass of wine or soft drink \nHolloway Lane\, Chesham Bois in 1937\nWhy does Amersham have so many Stanleys? Westanley Avenue\, Stanley Hill Avenue and Stanley Hill for example. How did Copperkins Lane get its name\, or High & Over? Place names give us clues to our history\, particularly local history\, as the names of our streets and buildings often reflect local events and local people. Some Amersham names were evidently inspired by important events such as Lollard Close or nature or geography\, such as Cherry Lane and Station Road. Others were inspired by people\, whether they are the great and the good\, such as Gilbert Scott Court or Artisans and humble farmers such as Loudhams Road. \nSome names have inspired different stories and interpretations such as Turpin Row\, which despite a great story does not have a connection with Dick Turpin\, and Gore Hill\, which was not the site of a 9th century battle with the Danes\, so fierce that the blood ran down the hill. \nFind out more of the stories about the origins of our local place names\, whether based on facts or local legends\, from local historian Alison Bailey. \nThis talk complements our current temporary exhibition Rooted in the Land. \n  \nHow did the Henry Allen Nursery get its name?

SUMMARY:WOMEN IN INTELLIGENCE
DESCRIPTION:A Hidden History from WW1 To WW2\nIn the week of the 80th anniversary of VE Day\, we are delighted to welcome Dr Helen Fry to give a talk.\nThe ticket price includes a glass of wine or soft drink. \nIn twentieth century\, women took on an extraordinary range of roles in intelligence\, defying the conventions of their time. Across both world wars\, far from being a small part of covert operations\, they ran spy networks and escape lines\, parachuted behind enemy lines and interrogated prisoners. Meanwhile\, back at Bletchley and Whitehall\, women’s vital administrative work in Military Intelligence kept the British war engine running. Helen takes a panoramic view of the rich and varied intelligence and espionage work women undertook as civilians and in uniform. From spies in the Belgian network ‘La Dame Blanche’\, knitting coded messages into jumpers\, to those who interpreted aerial images and even ran entire sections. She will talk about some of the inspirational contributions of these remarkable women from her extensive research. \nAbout Helen Fry\n \nHistorian Dr Helen Fry has written over 25 books on the Second World War\, with particular reference to the 10\,000 Germans who fought for Britain\, and also British intelligence\, espionage and WWII. Her latest highly acclaimed book Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World War received the Silver Award from Military History Matters Book Award. Her bestselling books include The Walls have Ears about the secret wartime eavesdropping operation; also Spymaster: The Man who Saved MI6; and MI9 about the British Secret Service for escape and evasion in World War Two. She appears frequently in numerous TV documentaries\, including covering the major anniversaries of D-Day for the BBC. In 2022 Helen was recognized as a woman of achievement at the Women of the Year Lunch Awards. In 2023 she received The Lifetime Achievement Award in Jewish Military History and Education. She is an ambassador for the Military Intelligence Museum; a trustee of the Friends of the Intelligence Corps and a trustee of the Medmenham Collection.
