Description
English: Robert Hooke designed this English parish church for his former headmaster, Dr. Richard Busby, in 1678. It is now Hooke’s only surviving church, built on Busby's estate in Buckinghamshire.
The lead cupola and weather vane were removed in the Victorian era and Dr. Busby had a vestry built each side of the tower with more pineapples. Apart from these changes it is much the same as it was when built. The painting in oils shows the church when newly built without the vestries but with the cupola and weather vane. Robert Hooke poses as the architect, a gentleman from London in the latest fashion.
In 2009 Willen church is open and manned every day, combining with other parishes in the area to form a Local Ecumenical Partnership serving a large area of Milton Keynes.
