The Wheatsheaf Inn has a fascinating history as part of Wycombe life. It is a medieval timber-framed building situated in a prominent position on High Wycombe High Street. Dating from 1399, this is the oldest secular building in High Wycombe.

In 2017, Buckinghamshire Historic Buildings Trust identified The Wheatsheaf as a building at risk and took on the lease as part of their remit to preserve architectural heritage in the county. Taking a conservation-led approach, the Trust was open to a range of options for use of the fully restored building. Completed in Spring 2022, the exemplary work undertaken by the Trust and their expert team of conservation professionals has protected and revealed the history and fabric of the building for the first time. This includes conserving and restoring the historic shopfront façade, exposing the building’s medieval floor timbers and wall paintings, and revealing the full extent of the spectacular beamed roof.
Come and see the fabulous results of the restoration work and learn more about its fascinating story of its life as part of Wycombe
