Weylands House
35 Germain Street, Chesham, Buckinghamshire, HP5 1LW
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. The current owner will open one of the ground floor rooms which will give visitors a good idea of its use as a parish poor house. Tea and refreshments will also be served by Fairtrade Chesham, and you can enjoy a stroll in the riverside garden.
