Canon EOS 250D | 56mm | 1/125s | f/14 | ISO 100 Taken on 30/08/2020. Overlooking the village of West Wycombe is the steep-sided and imposing West Wycombe Hill, which was once home to an Iron Age settlement. Standing on the edge of this prehistoric structure is the imposing hexagonal Dashwood Mausoleum, an impressive roofless structure built from local flint which contains urns and plaques which commemorate members of the Dashwood family and some of their associates. Close by is St. Lawrence Church, a building of medieval origin but which received a substantial makeover in the 18th century by Sir Francis Dashwood, the owner of West Wycombe Park. One of the church’s many notable features is the hollow golden ball on top of the tower which could seat between six and ten people. It was described by author John Wilkes as ‘the best globe tavern I was ever in’. There are 55 acres of grassland, scrub and woodland to explore in and around the hill. And with commanding views over the surrounding countryside, it is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic or explore the unspoiled, picturesque landscape.
