We are looking for some help about past residents in Chalfont St Peter. Last year, Chalfont St Peter Community Library published a community cookbook to raise funds for the library. Local people generously shared their favourite recipes, creating a wonderful snapshot of our village today.
While tidying up the Local History section, we made a fascinating discovery: in 1912, another cookbook was published in Chalfont St Peter to raise money for the All Saints Church Building Fund. More than a century separates the two books, but both were created through the generosity of local people.
Local author Denise Beddows is helping us research some of the women who contributed recipes to the 1912 cookbook, and we'd love your help.
We are particularly interested in finding out more about:
Katharine Ada Esdaile (née McDowall)
Lilly Barnard Davis (née Hannaford)
Anne Margaret Roscoe (née Gawne)
Elizabeth Wilson Murray
Rosina Hibburt (née Follett)
Do you recognise any of these names? Are you a descendant, or do you have family stories, photographs, letters, or documents relating to any of these ladies? Even the smallest piece of information could help us build a picture of the people behind the recipes.
We will be creating a display at Chalfont St Peter Community Library celebrating the connection between the two community cookbooks and the people who helped bring them to life.
If you can help, please let us know. Please email: enquiries@csp-communitylibrary.co.uk We would be delighted to hear from you. Please feel free to share this email — it may just reach someone with a missing piece of the story.
Kind regards
