== Etymology ==
Its name arose by back-formation from the name of Chesham. It was once known as the Pittlesburne which incorporates the old word ''burna'' used in the Chilterns to describe a clear spring-fed stream on a lower dip-slope, often with a stony bed. Examples are the rivers Misbourne and Bulbourn, and the river Ver was formerly the Redbourne.〔The Landscape of Place-Names by Gelling & Cole ISBN 1-900289-26-1〕
