Hazlemere

Hazlemere is a suburb of High Wycombe and a civil parish within Wycombe district in Buckinghamshire, England. It is to the north east of the town along the A404 in the direction of Amersham.

Hazlemere used to be a small hamlet in the ancient Desborough Hundred and the name is recorded as long ago as the 13th century. The crossroads at the centre of Hazlemere was, until 1987, the meeting point of several parish boundaries (Penn, Hughenden, Chepping Wycombe). It now lies at the centre of its own parish. In the Victorian era the railway arrived in High Wycombe, and the principal station in the town was on Amersham Hill, close to the village of Hazlemere. From that point on, it was perhaps inevitable that Hazlemere would become a large built-up area.
