Chearsley Flag


Have you noticed that Chearsley now has its own flag? This is with thanks to the generosity of John and Alicia Howard. Alicia designed the flag depicting red kites, the horse chestnut and The Chilterns and they have given it to the village in appreciation and celebration of the many friendships made and the good times they have enjoyed during 30 years in Chearsley. The plan is for this flag to be flown when no other flag is due to be flown.
