AGM 2025
We held our first AGM in 5 years on 5 March 2025 in the Little
Kinshill Village Hall. This was attended by around 50
members.
At the meeting a new committee was elected, some minor
amendments to the constitution were approved and the Society
accounts for the interim period 2021-2025 were presented and
accepted.
Plaque Unveiling
Do you know the significance of the 11 trees on The Common in Little Kingshill?
The 11 trees planted on the common are in memory of 11 men who fell in the First World War who came
from Little Kingshill.
And now thanks to Little Missenden Parish Council there is a beautiful plaque in place to remind us of the tree’s significance.
On Saturday 7th June an unveiling took place.
LK Baptist Church kindly allowed the use of Cornerstone Hall and a gathering of approx.
30 locals was held. LK Village Society offered refreshments and Ian Mackey a local resident
spoke of village events of that time and painted a picture of three of the men that fell at such young ages.
On the common, Lieutenant Colonel Craig Turner read a poem Naming of the Dead by Keith Wallis, a prayer
was offered by Minister Martin Hatfield and the plaque was unveiled. Positioned near the play equipment,
it is hoped that families using the park will read the words and explain the importance of the trees
to younger generations.
A moving occasion where history and community came together.

Defibrillators
In a cardiac emergency there are 2 defibrillators in Little Kingshill,
one at the Village Hall (HP16 0DZ,
outside the entrance on wall to the left)
and the other at The Full Moon Pub (HP16 0EE, on the wall nearest the road).
CALL 999, they can provide you with the ACCESS CODE for either machine in an emergency and talk you through what to do.
We were very lucky to have 2 local First Responders provide the basics of CPR and how to access and use a defibrillator
to 50 local residents at the Village Hall on Saturday 17th January 2025.
A huge thank you to Bob Davy and Nick George from South Central Ambulance Service.
They said they had never seen such a huge turn out in one village.
