The Queens Head was a farmhouse on the south-east side of Whielden Street belonging to the Child family of Woodrow. It probably became a beerhouse after the road from Amersham to Wycombe was turnpiked in 1767 as part of the Reading to Hatfield turnpike road. The house is mentioned in the will of Thomas Child of Coleshill, 24 April 1775. Child bequeathed to his brother William Child
All that my new erected messuage or tenement wherin Thomas Archer now doth dwell situate at the upper end of Wielden lane in the parish of Amersham...known by the name of the Red Lion ' together with associated houses, buildings yards and orchards.
Thomas Archer was succeeded by Benjamin Walker, a blacksmith, who was the tenant when Child's trustees sold the property to Weller's Brewery in 1802:
.... And of and in all that messuage or tenement wherein Thomas Archer formerly dwelt and wherein Benjamin Walker now dwells situate in the Hamlet of Coleshill aforesaid at the upper end of a lane calle Wielden otherwise Whilden Lane leading from a place called Wycombe Heath to Agmondesham otherwise Amersham aforesaid being a public house formerly called or known by the name or sign of the Red Lion and now called or known by the name or sign of the Queens Head which said messuage or tenement was erected and built by Thomas Child deceased on part of the piece or parcel of orchard or meadow ....
By this time the name had changed to the Queens Head, probably to distinguish it from the Red Lion in Coleshill, which was also sold by the Childs to Wellers Brewery in 1802. Benjamin Walker died in 1816, leaving a will in which he described himself as a victualler. His widow Sarah Walker ran the Queens Head until1819, when John King, also a blacksmith, took over the premises. Later tenants included William Towersey, Henry Ball, Isaac Almond, William Francis, Frank Butler, Henry Beaven and Fredrick Saunders.
The Queens Head ceased to be a pub in 1998 and is now a private house.
