CHALFONT ST GILES - BEST KEPT VILLAGE
2006
The Pushman Cup for the Best Kept Village in Buckinghamshire
(Section: Rural, population over 3,000)
Judges comments included:
It was pleasing to find this very
attractive church open. The noticeboard was also very attractive. The
churchyard has been left as a conservation area with daisies and poppies -
a reminder of a traditional country churchyard. The cemetery was also
excellent.
The childrens' playing area is well
equipped and well kept. The playing fields are well used and excellent.
The Memorial Hall is very good but
had some graffiti on open areas; the attractive planted areas are now
matured.
Areas surrounding inns, hotels,
pubs, and shops were generally very good and maintained in a very tidy
state.
The pond is very attractive and well
kept. The War Memorial in the churchyard is in very good order but that in
the High Street had dead flowers which had not been removed.
