View across Church Street from the steps of the parish hall. The archway leads to Old Bells Court, which may well be a vestige of the medieval plan of Chesham. The street frontage is interesting in itself - no. 44 has an old shop-front, said to be of early 19th century origin. But what this shot doesn't show is that the walls running back from the street on either side of the entrance have exposed timber framing, showing that the street frontage has been added to timber-framed buildings which are centuries older.
