This new church, in the Booker area of High Wycombe, is one of a small select group dedicated to St Birinus. St Birinus was the first Bishop of Dorchester and known as the Apostle to the West Saxons. He died in 649 and his feast day is 4 September. The church is on Sycamore Road off Cressex Road, and its website is here http://www.banjos.org.uk/ Update September 2020 It is evident from StreetView that this Church had already been demolished by May 2012, and a new church, now of Christ the Servant King, was being constructed on the site.
