Ley Hill is a Chiltern village on the Buckinghamshire/Hertfordshire border in south-east England, near the town of Chesham.
It is part of the civil parish of Latimer and Ley Hill, and comes under Chiltern District Council in the County of Buckinghamshire.
In 1680, the timber-framed building consisted of three cottages with five extensions, oak-beamed ceilings and pillars, a kitchen range and an inglenook fireplace.
Clark Gable and James Stewart were frequent visitors during World War II, and signed photographs were displayed in the bar for many years.
It was started by the Rev Thomas Green from the Rickmansworth Mission, and has ever since been linked with Methodist churches in West Hertfordshire.
Miss Bessie Bangay was one of the first female Anglican lay readers in England (called Bishop's Messengers).
Mrs Catherine Cavendish (from 1858 called Lady Chesham) arranged for schools to be built at Latimer, Flaunden and Ley Hill.
The school at Ley Hill was built at the back of the Common in 1847, using local brick and knapped flint.
Historically the village also had tile making and pottery, which are remembered in the local names of Tyler's Hill and Kiln Lane.
