One of the many bridle ways in the area skirts one of the boundaries. The Liberty History & Influence Arthur Liberty was born in Chesham, Buckinghamshire in 1843 and was first employed in a shop in Regent Street, London. In 1875, with a loan from his future father-in-law, he leased his first shop, opposite his employers and within 18 months he had acquired 218 Regent Street, now the world famous Liberty store. Arthur frequently visited his grandparents at Chartridge Farm and with his new found wealth he moved into the Manor House at The Lee in 1890, owning the estate by 1898. As Lord of the Manor he extended the estate to cover over three thousand acres, stretching well beyond the parish boundaries encompassing twelve working farms, many houses, cottages and public houses. His influence and wish for improvements to the village included fresh water pumped from the Missenden valley, with many visual reminders such as the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Well, on the green and the Cock & Rabbit village pub, built in1907 still remaining to this day. Arthur Liberty died in 1917 having built Pipers for his nephew and eventual heir, Ivor Stewart-Liberty.

Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened. Shirley gave unstintingly of her time and energy to protect the area she loved from HS2, but she also knew the importance of assembling robust evidence, using recognised research methods and arming oneself with the relevant facts and figures to fight a cause. Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2.
