High Wycombe has a long and interesting history. The town was referred to in the Domesday Book as a major settlement that was home to six mills. High Wycombe was granted its first charter in 1237. The town’s economy was initially based upon the cloth-weaving industry, followed by lace and paper making. The rise of furniture making in the eighteenth century led to a mass-production, full-scale business.
