Buckinghamshire Church Photographs.

Church pictures taken from around the English County of Buckinghamshire in Southern England.

The first set of Local and Parish Churches in Buckinghamshire's Villages and Towns shown here are Ashendon to Hughenden. Plese Click Here to jump down the page to see pictures of churches in villages between Ibstone and Wycombe Marsh.

Many of Buckinghamshire's villages have their own small churches which often date back 100's of years, and it's quite amazing how different they are in design and how beautiful many of them are to look at. English churches often have a very large yew tree nearby and perhaps lots of not so often seen wild flowers round the sides of their graveyards - at certain times of the year the graveyards and surrounds are often carpetted in snowdrops, daffodils or bluebells according to the Season.

You can often find bench seats placed around the churchyards - perfect on a nice Spring or Summer's day for a quiet and often peaceful sit for a while. Many of the pictures were taken during the Winter since once Spring arrives our English churches are often difficult to photograph since they become well hidden by the surrounding trees and shrubs - and of course the large yew trees usually found adjacent to English Churches don't help with photography. Yew trees are very long-lived and because of this they were treated by ancient Britons as a place of burial, worship and for other important ceremonies and therefore these sacred places led the first Christians to locate their new churches next to them.

  

Wolverton's St. George the Martyr's Church was built in 1843 by the London to Birmingham Railway Company for their railway workers and was the first church to be built by a railway company. You get a great view of this old church from the Grand Union Canal towpath by the way.
