Hotel Details
The Saracen s Head Inn is a conventional English public house serving real ales fine wines and home-cooked food every lunchtime and evening.
The original stables surrounding the courtyard have been converted into stylish comfy en suite bathroom accommodation available for guest bed and Breakfast.
The Reformation had some roots in the town as several Lollards were condemned to death and burnt at the stake a memorial on the hill above the town commemorates this event and in 2001 the people of Amersham performed a community play re creating the events of the time.
In 1200 King John granted the town a market and fair the fair is still held every year on the 19th and 20th of September the market every Tuesday but it has moved to Amersham on the Hill.
The Doomsday Book listed Amersham as Elmodesham with 6 manors one belonging to the wife of Edward the Confessor.
Amersham was then called Agmodesham.
However the origins of the town go back to pre Saxon times.
There is evidence that a Roman Villa existed in the region (any remains now believed buried under Shardeloes Lane).
Amersham - probably more than any other similar small town in England - preserves in the streets of the Old Town the same general appearance that it displayed during the 17th and 18th centuries.
It is also extremely popular with walkers who wish to tour the landscape surrounding us.
Trains from Amersham Station go directly into London in less than 30mins.
This was used for bear baiting (fighting) over 300years ago thankfully a tradition no longer kept! We are located a stone s throw away from the fashionable shops and boutiques in the High Street of Amersham Old Town.
During the conversion we discovered an underground bear pit near the cellar.
