St Mary's Church, Woburn is a Grade II* listed parish church in the Church of England located in Woburn, Bedfordshire. It was built between 1865 and 1868 to the designs of the architect Henry Clutton and paid for by William Russell, the 8th Duke of Bedford. The church replaced the old parish church in the town, which was demolished when the new church opened. The tower was equipped with a massive bell, said to be the largest in a parish church at the time, and was surmounted by a spire reaching a height of 181 feet. St Mary's Church is a beautiful and historic building that serves as a place of worship for the local community.

The village boasts a collection of well-preserved Georgian buildings, which gives it a charming atmosphere. Many good pubs but if you fancy a coffee or a lite bite try Flootes

A real cyclists’ place, run by keen riders themselves. And the pizzas are epic - it beat me.
