David Beard's Somewhat Strangely Varied Website

The village of Chilton, Text Box:  Buckinghamshire
Then and now.....

I haven’t lived in Chilton since I married in 1973, but I have never left the place, really……so I thought I would include a few pages on my website dedicated to the village in which I grew up. My grandfather was the village blacksmith, arriving from Brill in 1922, bringing with him my mother, who was two years old. She has now lived in the village longer than anyone, I’m pretty certain.

These pages will include a number taken over the years, showing how things have changed…or frequently how they have barely changed at all. The photos are all mine, unless stated otherwise. Please keep coming back and checking: I hope to add more on a regular basis. Perhaps anyone with interesting Chilton snaps from the past would like to send them to me for inclusion, too, along with any memories.
