Church of St Mary Magdalene, Anglican church in Willen, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
The Church of St Mary Magdalene features a stone construction with a square tower, stained glass windows, and classical architectural details from the 1680s.
Robert Hooke, a prominent scientist and architect, designed and supervised the construction of this church between 1678 and 1680 for £2,202.
The interior displays religious artifacts, traditional wooden pews, and detailed carvings that represent Anglican worship practices from the late 17th century.
The church maintains regular Sunday services and welcomes visitors during daylight hours, with wheelchair access and parking facilities near Willen Lake.
Dr Richard Busby, the headmaster of Westminster School, funded the church construction by requesting silver spoons from his students as contributions.
