Amersham is an abandoned village in the Saint Anthony Parish on the island of Montserrat.[2] [1] [3] The village, located north of the former neighbouring village of Kinsale, had a small population before the Soufrière Hills volcano erupted in 1995.
The village used to have an estate, called Amersham Estate.
