About Fencing in High Wycombe
High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire grew from a medieval market town into the world's chair making capital during the 19th century, thanks to the rich forests of elm, beech and ash covering the surrounding Chilterns that provided the perfect raw material for the trade. The craft dates back before 1700, when a turner is recorded in the town's parish register in the 1680s, but chairs were not produced in large numbers until after 1800, when itinerant lathe workers known as bodgers, based in villages around the town, began turning chair parts for factories in Wycombe itself. Production reached remarkable levels by 1877, when around 4,700 chairs were being made every single day across some 150 workshops and factories, and the trade later gave rise to well known furniture names including Parker Knoll, Ercol and G-Plan, a heritage now preserved at the town's Wycombe Museum, widely known as the chair museum.
