Widmer End Residents' Association

The website for Widmer End and Four Ashes Residents

Widmer End is a hamlet in the parish of Hughenden, in Buckinghamshire, England.

Widmer End is a small village of about 2000 people, situated between Hughenden Valley and High Wycombe. It has a village hall, a church, a village green and a few shops. It is surrounded by lovely countryside, and an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The Residents’ Association acts as a focus for local community activities, and works with a number of local organisations including the Hughenden Parish Council, Widmer End Combined School, Windmill Estate Maintenance Company, Grange Area Trust and the village hall trustees. It also organises local events such as a Christmas carol service, BBQs and the Big Lunch.

The Residents’ Association also publishes a quarterly newsletter, Widmer End News, which contains information about Widmer End and Four Ashes, and provides information on local sports activities, announcements from the Residents’ Association and even cooking tips. The magazine is distributed, free, to every home in Widmer End.

WERA meets on the first Wednesday of each month (except April and August) at 7.30pm in the Cricket Club bar which is situated behind the village hall in Grange Road. All residents are welcome to attend.
