Gayhurst is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes, ceremonial Buckinghamshire in England. It is about two and a half miles north-west of Newport Pagnell.
The village name is an Old English language word meaning, wooded hill where goats are kept. In the Domesday Book in 1086 it was recorded as Gateherst. At that time the manor was owned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux. The church of St Peter was built in the classical style in 1728 to replace a medieval church; the designer is unknown.
The church stands beside Gayhurst House and faces the stables across the main lawn. Originally there had been a medieval church on the site but in 1724 George Wright, owner of Gayhurst House and patron of the church, obtained a licence from the Bishop of Lincoln to take it down and build a new one. At the time he described it as, a very old building. It was duly demolished and, by 1728, the new church which we see today had been built.
The new church is a small building in the style of Sir Christopher Wren although there is no evidence that he had a hand in its design. Indeed, the unknown architect may well have been a local builder since his interpretation of the elements in the design is distinctly provincial. The style is Classical Renaissance and, with the church at Willen, it is the most important church in that style in the county.
Gayhurst House is reputed to have once belonged to Sir Francis Drake although it is not known whether he ever lived there, and for many years the gatehouse leading to the estate was a public house called the Francis Drake. The house certainly once belonged to the father-in-law of Sir Everard Digby, 15781606, one of the conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, and he resided there for some time.
