- Seer Green is a village and civil parish within Chiltern district in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, about a mile east of Beaconsfield and a mile south-west of Chalfont St Giles. The village name "Seer" is French in origin, and means "dry or arid place". In manorial rolls of 1223 it was called La Sere. Although local legend has it that the "Seer" refers to King Arthur's Court visiting the area and locals consulting his "seer" - a nice story but of doubtful origin. Even so there is a pub called Merlin's Cave in the nearby village, Chalfont St Giles, after this legend. The affix "Green" came later. The village is home to Seer Green C of E School, the brick and flint Holy Trinity Church with lancet windows that was built in 1846, a Baptist Church and a strong Scout group. The Scouts of the village are well known in the area for being placed well in annual competitions and for providing leisure activities for young children and teenagers. The Village is also home to Seer Green United, they are a team who (at the moment) have an U7s, U8s and U13s. It is also a station on the Chiltern Line between Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross. The station was originally called Beaconsfield Golf Club railway station, the golf club being situated next door, but the name was later changed to reflect its position between the two villages. The village, until the early part of the 20th Century was mainly an agricultural one and was renown for its cherry orchards. The remnants of some of these orchards remain and in honour of this tradition the local school holds a "Cherry Pie Fair" every summer which is a great day out for the village and usually involves a fancy dress parade and a procession through the village. The village became formally a separate civil parish in 1866, having previously been a hamlet of the parish of Farnham Royal. It had levied a separate poor rate before then.
