St Michael & All Angels, Hughenden Parish Church — Attraction in England

It is closely associated with the nearby Hughenden Manor and the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Benjamin Disraeli who is buried in the churchyard. According to early records, a church existed on this site in the 12th century, built by Geoffrey de Clinton between 1100 and 1135. In 1848 Benjamin Disraeli purchased Hughenden Manor. Disraeli was British Prime Minister twice, in 1868 and 1874–80, and was made Earl of Beaconsfield in 1876. He died in 1881 and was buried in the family vault along with his wife Lady Beaconsfield (died 1872) which is located at the west wall of the church. Royal protocol did not permit Queen Victoria to attend the private funeral, but she visited the tomb a few days later to pay her respects. Used in film and TV such as Action television series The Secret Service. It also featured briefly in the film Johnny English, in the funeral scene where a bomb kills all of Britain's secret agents. Judi Dench filmed a scene from the film Victoria & Abdul in the grounds of the church – another scene was filmed in the manor house. Definitely worth a visit, even if you're not going to the manor, Free...

Only fell below 5 stars because the venue is out of town and you really need a car or taxi to get to it. Look out for the Salome Quartet. They sometimes do free concerts in London and you won't be...

Attractive flint walled church with a superbly decorated chancel and striking stained glass windows.

The church was extensively restored in the late 19th century, gaining its fine chancel wall paintings and organ. The tomb of the Disraeli family of Hughenden is located in the well kept churchyard. There's free parking right outside the church, and the National Trust parkland and gardens at Hughenden are just up the hill and...
