Britain's What's On Event Guide
Chesham 1879 Tennis and Squash Club
Heritage Open Day: An introduction to the oldest tennis club in England, set in Chesham's Old Town. The Club is in a picturesque location on the edge of the Pednor Valley, bounded by woodland and the River Chess. The Club was established in 1879 in the very early days of organised tennis and, from records kept in the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum Library, is the third oldest tennis club in Great Britain with an active membership. It was founded following the death of John Hale of Germains House, Chesham. Hale, a keen croquet player, was one of the six founder members of The All England Club, Wimbledon. The club currently has six hard courts and three American clay courts; two squash courts were added in the 1980s.
