Welcome to the Chalfont St Peter village site – completely unofficial and always out of date. Since this web site was first set up in 2005, the village has changed enormously with the population growing with developments at Holy Cross, Newland Park, ongoing infilling and the NSE with the additional prospect of around 1,000 houses in addition to their existing new builds. We also have HS2 going underneath Chalfont Common and associated building works and the prospect of a Chalfont Service Station on the M25.
Some things remain the same though and the village continues to be a lively, friendly community to live and work in. The village was first recorded around the seventh Century as an Anglo Saxon settlement along the river Misbourne by a spring and was called ‘Caedeles Funta’. It was then mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1087. The population as at the 2001 census numbered some 12,939 making Chalfont St Peter one of the largest villages in the South East of England.
Chalfont St Peter is a vibrant village community with a strong local identity and community with prosperous businesses and excellent links to other major business areas and towns yet set in the green belt on the edge of the Chilterns.
Residents enjoy the busy shopping area with shops to cater for daily needs, a wide range of leisure and sports clubs and a number of friendly pubs to socialise.
