Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Arthur Liberty Memorial, Lee, Buckinghamshire Lee - usually referred to as 'The Lee' - is an attractive village in the Chiltern Hills, about 2 miles north east of Great Missenden and 3 miles south east of Wendover. The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, meaning 'woodland clearing'. The village church of St John the Baptist is unusual in that it consists of two buildings: the ancient chapel of ease built in the 12th century, which includes a window depicting Oliver Cromwell and John Hampden as 'champions of liberty', and the more modern Victorian red brick church built in 1867. The Lee is associated with Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843–1917), proprietor of the famous Regent Street (London) store, Liberty & Co., who in 1900 built a Manor house on the outskirts of the Village. Liberty was closely associated with Art Nouveau and his company became synonymous with the style. Liberty is buried in the village church, his gravestone designed by Archibald Knox, one of Liberty & Co.'s long-standing designers. There is also a monument in the graveyard, shown here, to him and his wife, Dame Emma Louise.
