*************

West Wycombe is a small village situated along the A40 road, three miles west of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England.

The historic village is largely a National Trust property and receives a large annual influx of tourists - being the site of West Wycombe Park, West Wycombe Caves and the Mausoleum on top of West Wycombe Hill. The Mausoleum and Golden Ball above West Wycombe village are impressive local landmarks, visually dominating the village and local landscape for miles surrounding.

West Wycombe Park, Caves, Mausoleum and St Lawrence's Church were all constructed in the mid-18th century by Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the Dilettanti Society and co-founder of the notorious Hellfire Club.

St Lawrence's Church is a Church of England church in the parish of West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. It sits on top of West Wycombe Hill, which is managed by the National Trust,^[1] although the church and graveyard are owned by the Church of England.

There has been a religious focus on this site since at least 635AD. The Grade I listed church^[2] was built in its current form from 1761, under instruction from Sir Francis Dashwood, 1st Baronet and Baron Le Despenser. It was officially reopened on 3 July 1763.^[3]

The architect is unknown but is widely believed to be Nicholas Revett,^[4] who also worked on parts of the house at West Wycombe Park.

St Lawrence's Church is known as the 'Summer Church' and St Paul's in the heart of the village is known as the 'Winter Church'. This is because until 1928 there was no road up to St Lawrence and no power until the 1970s.
