Dr Richard Busby, royalist Head of Westminster School, bought Willen Village in 1672 from the family of parliamentarian Colonel Robert Hammond. One of his first acts as manorial lord was to demolish the existing church with its parliamentarian affiliations and commission his former pupil Robert Hooke to replace it.
