St Lawrence's Church, West Wycombe, Medieval parish church on West Wycombe Hill, England
The church structure features a nave with Egyptian-inspired elements, Rococo plasterwork, and a trompe-l'œil ceiling decorated with religious paintings by Giovanni Borgnis.
Sir Francis Dashwood led extensive renovations in the 1750s, transforming the medieval building into a neoclassical structure with elements inspired by ancient architecture.
The church tower contains eight bells dating from different periods, with the oldest bell cast in 1581, contributing to ceremonial activities.
The National Trust manages the church grounds while the Church of England maintains ownership of both the building and its surrounding graveyard.
A golden sphere sits atop the tower, designed to accommodate up to ten people and offering views across the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
