Hyde Heath is a village in the parish of Little Missenden, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, near Little Missenden. The hamlet name refers to the value of the estate that once stood there. The heath was valued at the price of one hide, an amount of land enough to support one free family and its dependants. Currently there is a primary school, nursing home "Rayners," a pub and restaurant "The Plough", a Village Hall & Shop and a car mechanics garage "Heath Motors". Hyde Heath is also host to one of the largest village fetes in the country, held in May of each year. It incorporates many traditional games and stalls and a dog show, as well as various displays (such as falconry and acrobatic demonstrations from the local school), tea and coffees, a large BBQ and ice cream stand, and an ever-popular Classic Car Display. Also there is the annual Hyde Heath Beer Festival held on the village Green in June. Spindles Farm, located in Hyde Heath, was in the news in 2008 due to a case of animal cruelty relating to horses.〔Emily Dugan, ("Battle to save lives of horses after 'unprecedented' cruelty" ), ''The Independent'', 11 January 2008.〕 == Churches == Hyde Heath has two churches. The Baptists were active in Hyde Heath since the 1800s. A church was established which was a branch of Amersham and then became a branch of Chesham Lower Baptist church (now Trinity). The chapel is now a house called "The Olde Chapel" on the Common. It had its own burial ground. In 1932 they built the current chapel in Bray's Lane called "Union Chapel" which was meant to be a Free church. There was a Mission Room of Little Missenden Church in Hyde Heath in the 1880s and 1890s. After Hyde Heath School was built the Parish of Chesham held services in the school. They then built a Mission Room in 1909. This is now called St Andrew's Church and is part of Little Missenden parish. Hyde Heath is located very close to the proposed route of High Speed 2 (HS2) rail link with many villagers active in the campaign against the link. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyde Heath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
