Remembering The Queen's visits to Buckinghamshire as the nation mourns her death

Her Majesty died peacefully at Balmoral

• 11:00, 9 SEP 2022

Buckingham Palace announced the death of The Queen on Thursday (September 8). The nation will mourn her death after Her Majesty played a vital role in many people's lives for the last seven decades.

Queen Elizabeth II, aged 96, is the longest-reigning Monarch in British history after serving 70 years on the throne. In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."

Her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh died in April 2021 at the age of 99. Her Majesty took the throne following her father, King George VI’s, death in 1952 while on a trip to Kenya.

We’ve taken a look back through archives and found some of the times Queen Elizabeth II came to visit Buckinghamshire. She has made appearances at a number of places such as Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes , Bekonscot Model Village in Beaconsfield and many places in South Bucks.

Over her long reign, she has visited Chequers - the Prime Minister's countryside retreat - a number of times. Take a look back at the times when the Queen has visited Buckinghamshire.

History & Heritage

With centuries of rich history behind the town, High Wycombe has cultivated a vibrant cultural past, filled with thriving industry, political grandeur and mayoral pageantry. The town’s existence can be dated as far back as the Iron Age, with evidence of Hill Forts in Desborough & Keep Hill, and later, the existence of a luxury Roman era villa.

The town’s name comes from its historical layout, a gathering of ‘Wics’ or ‘dwellings’, referring to the series of hamlets dotted along the town’s River Wye.

High Wycombe’s charter market has been in place for over 700 years – one of the oldest in the UK – and supported the town’s growth during the Medieval and Tudor eras when the town became known for its lace and linen cloth production. Tradesmen would make their way from London to Oxford, stopping along the way at various High Wycombe’s taverns, such as the Wheatsheaf Inn, which can still be seen on the High Street today.

With the first recorded inauguration in 1285, High Wycombe’s elected ‘Town Mayor’ has become an important figure in the town’s heritage. The annual ‘Mayor Weighing’ – a custom dating back to the 1600s – was originally introduced to assess whether the elected officials were getting ‘fat’ off the public’s taxes. Whilst the event is now purely ceremonial, High Wycombe is the UK’s only town to continue this tradition.

During the 17 th and 18 th Centuries, High Wycombe was noted for its mill-driven paper industry. The River Wye’s water, rich in chalk, was ideal for bleaching pulp. This was soon overtaken by the town’s famous furniture making industry (particularly Windsor chairs). By the late 1800s, around 150 furniture workshops and factories had been set up, taking advantage of High Wycombe’s thriving natural beech woods. By 1875 the town was producing around 4,700 chairs a day.

In 1877, High Wycombe became the first town to build a ‘Chair Arch’. Emblazoned with the words ‘Long Live the Queen’, the impressive display was created to celebrate a visit from Queen Victoria, a close friend of the then Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, who resided at the town’s nearby country estate, Hughenden Manor.

From the 1870s to the First World War, furniture making was High Wycombe’s staple industry, and the town’s growth and prosperity can be directly attributed to the Windsor Chair. It is an icon of craftsmanship that remains much celebrated throughout the town to this day.

ON November 10, 1952 the Queen paid the first of her many visits to High Wycombe.

This was to go to the stamp factory of Harrison and Sons in Hughenden Avenue to view the stamps which were being produced to commemorate her coronation in June 1953.

Under the heading of “Four Miles of Cheers” the Bucks Free Press reported “Driving through flag-decked streets, lined by enthusiastic townspeople and schoolchildren, the Queen visited the printing works …… where in the course of an hour’s tour of the factory she saw machines producing two designs of a new issue of postage stamps bearing her image”.
