The 15 best churches in High Wycombe

Visited All Saints High Wycombe for the first time recently to watch a candle concert and it was brilliant. A beautiful church.

This is a beautiful church. Opens it's doors to many local groups. You feel welcome when you go in, even of it is just for a cuppa which is available a lot. We went to a concert in aid of Ukraine charities. The concert was excellent, a lot of people giving their time to put this on. We hope they made a good amount

A great venue for live classical music.

Love the architecture. Notice this church while having coffee near by. So just pop in to have a look. Friendly n welcoming community people. Nice calm atmosphere. So pop in again when passing by. Hope visit it again next time in High Wycombe.

I visited with my two sons just to look around the lovely building. I got a nice welcome and one lady even took the time to show us around and tell us some details of the statues and layout. There is an interesting mix of old and recent and it all fits together well. Some of the statues looks old and have interesting stories behind them. I enjoyed seeing some well worn statues which clearly have some history. I find that sort of thing interesting so was satisfied here. I’ve not been to a service at all so my review is only of a pop in visit and I’d say it was well worth the time.

I visited the All Saints Church for my friends wedding over the weekend. This is a beautiful church, it is spacious, has high ceilings and lovely stained windows.

The Christmas tree festival was beautifully done . Refreshments were available

Dark & dated but hey its a church

Very unusual church with a design inspired by Italian Renaissance architecture. The unusually tall tower was raised above its original height to create a more visible landmark, accentuated by the golden ball on top. Thanks to its prominent location on West Wycombe Hill, the church towers above the village and can't be missed by drivers on the A40. The flint clad walls conceal an impressive interior. Sadly this was off limits to the public at the time of my visit due to the deteriorating condition of the church. That said, the churchyard appeared well maintained, and the external architecture is sufficiently striking that it still warrants a visit. There's more to see here, with the huge Dashwood Mausoleum sharing the grounds and the infamous Hellfire Caves cut into the hill below (a separate paid tourist attraction). There's free parking right outside the grounds, alternatively the church makes an interesting stop on a longer walk through the Chiltern Hills. It's worth taking a look around West Wycombe while visiting - this historic village was purchased by an arts society before being gifted to the National Trust to ensure its preservation. The dirt thrown up by large vehicles on the A40 does the light coloured buildings no favours, but it's a remarkable survival so close to the sprawling town of High Wycombe.

Lovely walk up to the church from the village and also the Mausoleum. Interesting church cemetery to walk around, we even found a memorial to a World War One air ace too. Beautiful church, amazing architecture for both the church and mausoleum. Great views of the surrounding countryside with peeks of West Wycombe Park between the trees.

The church is beautiful with Sir Dashwood’s golden ball atop, which the public can no longer go up inside due to vandals and safety.

If you’re in the area you should visit this church and check out the inside, it’s stunning. My wife and I came across it while checking out they mausoleum next door which has stunning views of the area. We met a truly lovely couple who were just about to lock up and showed us around and gave us a fascinating insight into the church and it’s tower history. The acoustics inside are beautiful. The Apple Orchard coffee house on the high street is a lovely place for a drink and something to eat. The hellfire caves at the bottom of the hill below the mausoleum was closed at the time of our visit but looked an interesting place.

Lovely Church and some really old grave stones. Unfortunately, you cannot get in the Church as I think it has been sold.

Interesting church on top of the West Wycombe hill. It was shut on our visit. Originally dating from the 14th century it was later rebuilt by the local land owners, the Dashwoods. There is a car park nearby which can be reached by a winding road.

The Golden Ball on St Lawrence Church, West Wycombe was created during the Age of Enlightenment by Sir Francis Dashwood.  A far-sighted landmark it recalls the late Renaissance period Custom House in Venice. The large wooden ball on top of its tower makes a classical counterpoint to the philanthropic straight road created from High Wycombe. The Church was originally built in the 14th century and then dramatically changed in 1763. The tower was raised to make it more visible from afar, and it was crowned with the wooden golden ball that was reputed to be a meeting place for the Hellfire Club.  The golden ball could seat 6-10 people, and was described by the author John Wilkes as “the best globe tavern I was ever in”. The ball hosted visitors of the Hellfire Club, such as, Benjamin Franklin, underlining the far reaching ‘global’ influence from this Buckinghamshire ‘seat

A beautiful location and a very serene place of worship that is not even rich in history but a very well looked after church. There’s plenty of off road parking and is not far from the famous Hughenden Manor.

Lovely church, set in beautiful countryside. Superb stained glass windows. Magnificent organ with painted pipes. Unusual 1920s style wall painting opposite the organ. Disraeli's memorial is next to the organ and his grave outside near the east facing wall. A lovely place to stop a while and reflect on life. Well worth a visit and a little donation would not doubt be appreciated. We thought so.

It is closely associated with the nearby Hughenden Manor and the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Benjamin Disraeli who is buried in the churchyard. According to early records, a church existed on this site in the 12th century, built by Geoffrey de Clinton between 1100 and 1135. In 1848 Benjamin Disraeli purchased Hughenden Manor. Disraeli was British Prime Minister twice, in 1868 and 1874–80, and was made Earl of Beaconsfield in 1876. He died in 1881 and was buried in the family vault along with his wife Lady Beaconsfield (died 1872) which is located at the west wall of the church. Royal protocol did not permit Queen Victoria to attend the private funeral, but she visited the tomb a few days later to pay her respects. Used in film and TV such as Action television series The Secret Service. It also featured briefly in the film Johnny English, in the funeral scene where a bomb kills all of Britain's secret agents. Judi Dench filmed a scene from the film Victoria & Abdul in the grounds of the church – another scene was filmed in the manor house. Definitely worth a visit, even if you're not going to the manor, Free parking and entry.

Saint Michael and all angels is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve been in across the world. From the tiles gracing its floors to the painted designs on its ceilings – not to mention the massive sculptures of Saints in its prayer room - it all comes together in a symphony of beauty, peace, and eloquent design. May God bless Saint Michael, and All Angels; may God bless us, one and all. A special thanks to all who support our glorious churches across the world. 🙏 May we always remember the sacrifice of the gifts we receive today and its perpetual value in our society. 🕯️

I really like this place, the cemetery has such a relaxed and peaceful feel to it and there are many benches where you can sit and relax. The church is open and several pews available to sit if you want to pray. Some nice stained glass windows inside church. ********** July 2019 Having visited Disraeli's House a few minutes walk from here, main reason to visit the church was to see the burial site of Benjamin Disraeli and his wife in the graveyard. However worth going inside the church which has an air of peace and tranquility.

Attractive flint walled church with a superbly decorated chancel and striking stained glass windows. A church has existed on this site since the 12th century, with elements of the present building dating from the 13th century. The font is believed to be the original. The church was extensively restored in the late 19th century, gaining its fine chancel wall paintings and organ. The tomb of the Disraeli family of Hughenden is located in the well kept churchyard. There's free parking right outside the church, and the National Trust parkland and gardens at Hughenden are just up the hill and worth a visit.

Hughenden, Buckinghamshire, St Michael and All Angels. A rebuild of 1873. Famous as the burial place of Disraeli who occupies the same vault as his wife and his ( female) financial patron. Aylesbury type font of the thirteenth century. Lots of medieval style effigies which date from the 16th century when the Wellesbourne family was trying to establish its early credentials (a similar thing happened at Chester le Street, County Durham). Church open daily and has its own car park off the drive to the big house.

A very pretty and peaceful church in a gorgeous corner of Buckinghamshire countryside. the stonework and stained glass is beautiful and a lovely pub and Country walks opposite.

Found couple of my ancestors. Lovely church and plenty of history.

Great for a bimble.

Lovely church

A beautiful church

Ruth Ellis is buried here in a modest grave in the 'old' cemetery just across the river.

Nice church and parish room. Good wheelchair access to all including burial area with good paths

Very peaceful, where my parents are buried.

Good

Beautiful old church & grounds (I'm not religious)

Pretty village church opposite The Crown pub.

The Parish Church of St Botolph is the oldest remaining building in the village. The nave dates from 1100 and the southern doorway is of the same date and may be the oldest church doorway in Buckinghamshire.

Beautiful church in picturesque surroundings.

Lovely little (old) church - passed by on a country ramble in the Chilterns. Live the little touches such as the dog water bowl at front gate. Very pretty village too!

Beautiful church yard

Lovely church

Neat red brick church in the unusual historic village of West Wycombe, built to provide the villagers with an accessible place of worship in a more practical location than St Lawrence's on the hill. The simple interior houses a stone font, and chairs, rather than pews, provide seating. There's free parking at the east end of the village which I'd recommend if you're going to spend a bit of time exploring West Wycombe. This fairly plain but nicely kept little church is worth a quick look as part of a visit to the village.

Lovely little church. Nice family atmosphere.

Lovely church very old with parking
