Bellingdon
(the name deriving from the Anglo Saxon Bellingdenu or Bella’s Valley) is a village in the parish of Chartridge in Buckinghamshire, England. It is two miles north of Chesham, and situated along a ridge, typical of the Chiltern Hills.
There is a village hall, with adjoining playing fields, shared with the nearby hamlet of Asheridge, along with a church and several local businesses.
Asheridge
Not to be confused with Ashridge, which is just outside Berkhamsted, Asheridge (recorded Esserugge in 13th century) also in the parish of Chartridge. Matilda de Esserugge is recorded as having connections with Missenden Abbey in the mid 13th century.
Finding your way around
Bellingdon is a linear village and as such it can be difficult to find individual houses. We have created a village map listing the properties in the village.
If you find this to be incorrect please contact us and we will make the necessary amendments. So far as we know, there is no corresponding map of Asheridge, but we are happy to be corrected.
