(Kimble Stewart Hall)

Great & Little Kimble cum Marsh Parish is set in the beautiful Vale of Aylesbury at the foot of The Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire.

Each and everyone of our councillors welcome you to our rural parish. We are situated on the northern edge of the Wycombe District, with rich lower farm land to the North rising into part of the magnificent Chiltern Hills to the South.

The 394 homes are well spread across 1,212 hectares. The main settlements are Smoky Row, Clanking, Marsh, Kimblewick, Little Kimble and Great Kimble.

The southern part of the parish is within the Chilterns Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty and The Green Belt – an area representing nearly 25% of the parish. The rest is most attractive too, and we strive to keep it that way.

The National Trust owns the land around Pulpit Hill. There is a network of public footpaths and bridleways from which to explore the varied countryside within the parish.

The population is growing, with many young families now taking the numbers to just over 1,000 (988 in the 2001 Census).

Council encourages communities to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day

Council encourages communities to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day

Thursday 8 May 2025 marks 80 years since Victory in Europe Day, more commonly known as VE Day, which celebrates the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces.


This momentous anniversary is an important opportunity for communities to come together to honour the bravery and sacrifice of the wartime generation.

In line with Buckinghamshire’s Armed Forces Covenant, the council is encouraging residents, organisations and community groups to hold events and street meets on Monday 5 May (bank holiday) which has been officially dedicated to community celebrations.

Those holding an event are encouraged to add all the details onto theBucks Online Directory, as it’s a great place for residents to find out what VE Day celebrations are taking place in their local area and see how they can get involved.

There are also lots of ways you can commemorate VE Day at home, from having a garden picnic, making your own Great British bunting, to going back in time and immersing yourself in music from the wartime era. For more ideas, visit the Events page on the council’s website at: buckinghamshire.gov.uk/ve-80

Archives & Libraries
Buckinghamshire Archives have taken images from their collections to highlight how the county’s residents celebrated VE Day in 1945. Displayed across two banners, there will be newspaper articles, letters, posters and photographs from VE Day celebrations across the county. The banners will be available throughout May in some of the county’s libraries as well as The Gateway, Walton Street council offices and at a retail unit in Friars Square, Aylesbury. For more information, follow facebook.com/BucksLibraries and facebook.com/BucksArchives


A national programme of events will take place across the UK commemorating the 80th anniversaries of both VE and VJ Day, including a military procession, flypast, and street parties on Monday 5th May, a remembrance service at Westminster Abbey on Thursday 8th May, and a national service at the National Memorial Arboretum on Friday 15th August.
