Compass Royston Leyland Fleetline / Alexander HSD85V is seen in rather industrial surroundings on a grim Teesside summers day in 2000 working the Countryside bus service.
This is the view toward West Wycombe Park from the top of wycombe hill.
I took the walk to the Dashwood Mausoleum which sits atop this hill after seeing the signpost for the Hellfire caves, which we will visit another day. I have copied some detail from the visit buckinghamshire website.
'The Hell-fire caves at West Wycombe are unique. They were excavated on the site of an ancient quarry in the 1750's by Sir Francis Dashwood (later Lord de Despencer) in order to provide work for unemployed farm workers following a succession of harvest failures. The chalk was used to build a main road between West Wycombe and High Wycombe
It is thought that his inspiration for their design came from his travels on the Grand Tour of Europe and into the Ottoman Empire. On his return he founded the Hell-fire Club, and was also a leading member of the Dilettanti Society and the Divan Club.
Subsequently members of the Hell-Fire Club are said to have held occasional meetings in the caves.
The caves are approached through an impressive flint forecourt resembling, from a distance, a Gothic church.
A long winding passage leads past various small chambers to the Banqueting Hall and then over the River Styx to the Inner Temple, which is about 300 feet down beneath the church on top of the hill. Statues in colourful costumes of close friends of Sir Francis include Paul Whitehead, Steward of the Hell-fire Club; John Wilkes, the MP for Aylesbury; Lord Sandwich, First Lord of the Admiralty; and the American Benjamin Franklin, and together with a commentary and sound effects helps to bring this intriguing story to life.
The Church at the top of the hill stands within a 5th Century Iron Age fort which was originally surrounded by a ditch and rampart. In 1751 the original 13th century Norman tower was considerably heightened and was capped with a golden ball which can seat six people. The view from the top of the tower is spectacular.
The interior of the church is very beautiful and was copied from the Sun temple at Palmyra near Damascus, which was built in the 3rd century A.D.
The Dashwood Mausoleum near the church was built in 1765. It is a vast roofless, hexagonal construction built of Portland stone and flint. It is the final resting place for members of the Dashwood family.
A visit to the church tower, church mausoleum and caves takes the best part of half a day. Other attractions include an excellent Garden Centre and West Wycombe Park, the beautiful Palladian home built by Sir Francis Dashwood and set in exquisite landscaped gardens.
