Chesham is an electoral ward covering part of the market town in Buckinghamshire, England, sitting low in the Chess Valley beneath the Chiltern Hills. The small River Chess runs through the area, and the town grew up around water‑powered mills and later light industries such as boot‑ and brush‑making, leaving a compact historic centre of terraces and independent shops.
Today the ward includes the town centre and surrounding residential streets, with parks such as Lowndes Park, community venues and local events that give a strong neighbourhood feel. Good rail links to London and a mix of long‑standing families and commuters shape a diverse social and economic profile, while conservation areas and riverside spaces keep a visible sense of local history and landscape.
