St Lawrence's Church, West Wycombe
Highlight • Religious Site
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 interior of the Church is equally magnificent. The design of the nave is said to have been derived from Robert Wood’s prints of the ancient Temple of the Sun in Palmyra. It has five arched windows of timber on each side, and is lined with engaged Corinthian columns under a continuous entablature. The painted ceiling is by Giovanni Borgnis, and there is spectacular Rococo plasterwork, on the ceiling, frieze and walls.

Bradenham Manor and St. Botolph's Church
Highlight • Historical Site
Early Origins
The earliest known settlers in Bradenham were Anglo-Saxon, and the village name originates from this time. The name means 'broad enclosure', referring to the fact that the village sits in a broad valley. Bradenham was mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086 when it had just two households.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. It is now protected by a modern porch. Most of the church dates from the 14th century onwards. The north chapel was added in 1542 and a new chancel was built in 1863 as part of a restoration by G E Street. The walls of the church are built of dressed flint and blocks of a locally extracted hard sandstone called 'Denner Hill' stone. This is a sarsen stone, a silica-cemented sandstone, which was quarried nearby in Prestwood.
The church contains a tablet memorial to Isaac D’Israeli and his wife Maria, both of whom lie at rest here.
Bradenham Manor
The mid-17th century manor house stands immediately south of the Church. The present building is of red brick with tall sash windows, steep tiled roofs with small dormer windows, and a row of slender brick chimneys. The current house is thought to include elements of an original building of 1540. The rebuilding was undertaken around 1670 by Sir Edmund Pye and his wife Catherine, whose coat of arms appears inside the house. In 1505 the Bradenham estate was acquired by Andrew Windsor who was knighted at Henry VIII's coronation in 1509. Andrew was created Lord Windsor in 1529, but died in 1543, being succeeded by his son William, the second Lord Windsor. William built the original manor house and when he died in 1558, the house passed to his son Edward.
