Britain's What's On Event Guide
Weylands House
Heritage Open Day: What happens when you can't work? Off to the Workhouse!
Visit the large entrance hall to one of Chesham's grand old houses. The owner will be on hand to describe the long history of the building, including its time as a workhouse. Visit at 11am, 12 noon, 2pm and 3pm for talks by the owner.
Originally Weylands was a timber-framed house built in the seventeenth century and re-fronted in the eighteenth century in chequered red and grey brickwork. Situated in Chesham's enchanting and historic Old Town, the distinctive frontage has three storeys, a tiled gabled roof, sash windows with glazing bars, and cambered relieving arches. It is listed Grade II.
The house is notable in Chesham Old Town as the former parish workhouse. Later it was used as Chesham Grammar School.
