The Bucks Free Press is a weekly local newspaper, published every Friday and covering the area surrounding High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. It was first published on 19 December 1856. Despite its title, it covers local news for the High Wycombe region only.
The paper covers local news, features, leisure and sport. The sport section features extensive coverage of Wycombe Wanderers football club and London Wasps rugby union club, who both play at Adams Park, High Wycombe.
Alongside the main Bucks Free Press paper, the Bucks Free Press group also publishes the free Wycombe Star every Thursday.
The fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett started his career as a journalist with the Bucks Free Press in 1965.
Famous quotes containing the words bucks, free and/or press:
“To deny the need for comprehensive child care policies is to deny a reality—that there’s been a revolution in American life. Grandma doesn’t live next door anymore, Mom doesn’t work just because she’d like a few bucks for the sugar bowl.”
—Editorial, The New York Times (September 6, 1983)
“We have to hate our immediate predecessors to get free of their authority.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
