One hundred years ago saw the publishing of classic novel The Great Gatsby, the birth of film legend Dick Van Dyke, and a new start for Chalfont Station Village.
During a Chalfont St Giles Parish Council meeting on January 15, 1925, a new name was first recorded for the row of houses near the train station at the request of the inhabitants.
Now called Little Chalfont, the small group of homes grew into their own village and even their own parish in 2007.
To celebrate the centenary, the Little Chalfont Community Association (LCCA) is hoping to bring the local community together to celebrate at this year’s Village Day.
Set to take place on Saturday, June 21, the event will showcase local businesses, people and clubs.
LCCA is also looking for new members to join and have their say on community events and ideas.
Speaking to Chalfonts & Gerrards Cross News, chair of LCCA Margaret Booroff Davies shared: “The association is for the people that live here. We’re aiming to build a vibrant spirit and create an attractive, sustainable place to live, work and enjoy.”
