Church of St Mary and St George, Grade II listed church in High Wycombe, England
The Church of St Mary and St George is a protected church building in High Wycombe featuring a distinctive green copper dome and textured red brick walls designed in Byzantine style. The structure includes a spacious interior and an adjacent hall used for community activities and events.
The building was constructed between 1935 and 1938, representing interwar architecture and design. Its design came from Gerald Wellesley, 7th Duke of Wellington, working alongside architect Trenwith Wills.
The church serves its community through traditional services and modern family gatherings that bring together people of different backgrounds. It remains a central meeting place for residents seeking spiritual connection and social fellowship.
The building sits in an easily accessible area of High Wycombe and is straightforward to visit on foot. It is best to check ahead for service times or events to make the most of your visit.
In 2019 a new congregation called SMG Church was established with Pioneer Minister Jonny Dade to connect with local residents in fresh ways. This initiative demonstrates how the building continues to adapt and serve changing community needs.
