I have lived in Berkhamsted for 40 years and became interested in local history as an adjunct to my family history research and as an antidote to my career in information technology. I manage the BLH&MS website and a popular page on Facebook charting the history of our town through newspaper reports and photographs; you can also browse past posts.
Enter Beorcham’s World and experience our town’s history through the eyes of our esteemed local historian Percy Birtchnell. A word of warning… it is possible to spend many happy hours meandering through Beorcham’s world!
We are fortunate that many Society members are keen to share the results of their local research and a wide range of articles have been published in the Chronicle for over 20 years. Since the Chronicle contents have been published, we have received many requests from all over the world for more details, especially for articles which highlight the lives of local families and social history.

Also, here is a Heritage leaflet 2009 and High Street survey 2011.
