Ashley Green
|
Ashley Green is a village in Buckinghamshire, England. It is situated on the border with Hertfordshire, about half way between Chesham and Berkhamsted.
Originally a hamlet within Chesham parish, its name is Anglo Saxon and means Ash Field, referring to the large expanse of forest that once covered this part of the Chiltern Hills.
Ashley Green became a parish in its own right in 1876, when the church of St John the Evangelist was constructed in the village.
Today Ashley Green is a popular home for commuters and executives who travel into nearby London every day.
