The Right of Way War

120 years ago, the people of Wendover marched on Coombe Hill in protest of the fences erected by the new landlord, Sir John Walton. Two things about the mass trespass are of interest: firstly, it was massively successful, and secondly, almost no one knows about it.

Join the Buckinghamshire Archives team for this online talk on the Coombe Hill Mass Trespass, an important event in the early rights of way movement that the newspapers at the time described as the ‘Right of Way War’.

This talk is hosted online on Microsoft Teams and free to join, but spaces must be booked in advance. Email archives@buckinghamshire.gov.uk to secure your place.

An invitation link will be sent a few days before the event.
