Set in historic Castle Hill
and surrounded by attractive gardens, Wycombe
Museum offers a fascinating tour of this important
area and pays homage to the region’s most famous
industry, the manufacture of furniture. Busy and
partly industrial, High Wycombe itself boasts an
18th century town hall, 17th century market house
and a 13th century church. The mansion ‘Wycombe
Abbey’ was built by James Wyatt in 1795. Nearby is
Hughenden Manor, the modest Georgian retreat of
the Victorian British Prime Minister Benjamin
Disraeli. The property is now in the hands of the
National Trust. |
