Join a guided Tudor Walk to learn about life – and death – in 16th century Amersham. The subjects include food and drink, markets and fairs, buildings and burgage plots, clothing and work, health and cures, religious beliefs and the Lollard martyrs.
The walk is led by guides in Tudor costume. It starts from the Museum, visits the church (weddings permitting!), then leaves the town and follows field paths. It lasts about 2¼ hours (short-cut possible) and includes a climb up through the fields (taken slowly).

Bill Hamilton is a former BBC TV News broadcaster. Born in Dundee, Scotland, Bill began work as a trainee reporter on the Fife Herald before moving to the Hartlepool Mail and then to Tyne Tees Television. His career with the BBC began in Glasgow before moving to London where he spent time as a Home Affairs correspondent and later as a Foreign Affairs correspondent, featuring regularly on national news bulletins.
During his time in television news he covered the war in Lebanon in 1982, AIDS in Africa, and the plight of neglected children in post-communist Albania. Nearer home he assisted in the rescue of snowbound train passengers in the arctic Scotland of 1978, and witnessed the aftermath of the IRA bombings in Brighton and inner-city riots in Brixton and Toxteth.
The talk is based on his autobiography “Man on the Spot: A Broadcaster’s Story” published in 2010.
Coffee/tea and biscuits will be available from 7.30pm. The talk starts at 8.00pm. No booking necessary. Guests and new members welcome.
