High Wycombe councillors agree part of Abbey Way should be renamed in memory of pioneer Dame Frances Dove
Abbey Way Part of a busy High Wycombe road should be renamed in honour of a pioneer who did “amazing” things in the town, councillors agreed. High Wycombe’s representatives were unanimous in their praise for renaming a section of Abbey Way, between the traffic lights and Marlow Hill, either Dame Frances Dove Way or Frances Dove Way. Cllr Lesley Clarke OBE came up with the plan with local historian Willie Reid to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Dame Frances Dove and the founding of Wycombe Abbey School, which is accessed along that section of the road.
