With such a large working class it is no surprise that Wycombe's traditions of religious dissent continued; there were numerous nonconformist churches and chapels built in the town.
Although much of the church is original 16th-century - the north chapel was built in 1570 - extensions and restorations were carried out in 1851 at a cost of £7,000.
Bruce organised dances in the Congregational Chapel Sunday School, now the Community Rooms, and Polish soldiers from Edge Hill Hospital were invited to join in the events.
In 1862 the church was enlarged, with a spacious nave replacing the original aisle and Lady Chapel, leaving the nave and chancel to form the south aisle.
On the right is a former chapel, or possibly a Quaker Meeting House. More recently it was used by Bill Jaggard for producing wooden decoy pigeons.
