- Hartwell, Buckinghamshire (Church of The Assumption)
This spectacular and romantic mid 18th-century church is built in the 'Gothic’ style.
It has two towers and sits in the landscaped grounds of Hartwell House, now a luxurious country hotel.
Henry Keene designed the church for Sir William Lee. It is octagonal with east and west towers, and is thought to echo the chapter house at York Minster.
Although thieves, vandals and the elements have done their worst to the interior, its restored shell is still a romantic sight in the 18th-century landscape of the park.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
