Welcome
Our ecumenical Christian church of St Mary Magdalene, in Willen, was designed by Robert Hooke, after the Great Fire of London, and completed in 1680.
It is a living, breathing church, often dubbed the jewel of Milton Keynes. Hooke's only complete building outside London and still in regular use almost 350 years later.
Next door is our much loved Willen Hospice, founded with the help of our Sacred Mission (SSM) who used to reside nearby. The hospice choir practice in our church and the hospice help us with mowing the grass and making toilets available for our Sunday services.
Weekly Sunday services at 9.30am, plus Events, Weddings, Baptisms, Funerals, Interments of Ashes
Click here for free events coming on 16th and 19th June
We pray for peace in Ukraine, Sudan, Russia, Palestine, Lebanon, Israel and all the war-torn countries of our world
Hooke Heritage Project
2026 remains a time of renewed progress with the church and community.
We still give huge thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund and others for their support.

Churchyard & Volunteers
A big thank you to everyone who helps do such a good job of looking after the church grounds.
Another big thank you to all the volunteers working inside too.
The church operates as a true team effort, inside and out -
entirely by unpaid volunteers, ministers included.
