All Saints, the Parish Church of Bow Brickhill, known in the '30s as the Beacon Church used to be conspicuous, standing out like a castle on the hill. Now that the hill is heavily wooded, views to the south are masked, however there are spectacular vistas of the new city of Milton Keynes from the top of the tower which is opened to the public one weekend each year. During the Napoleonic Wars the tower was used as a telegraph station and during the 1939-1945 war was used by the Royal Observer Corp.
