Ten years later the school moved to St Augustine’s School in Daws Hill Lane, and Marylyn and Chris set up a new home close by, which also serves as the school’s administration centre. She said: “I love Monopoly because it is a great game for all the family regardless of age to join in with and have a good laugh together. To be honoured by MONOPOLY in this way is such a huge compliment to our lovely town, it will really put High Wycombe on the map, and remind people what a fabulous town and heritage we boast here”. The most exclusive ‘Mayfair’ blue property square was given to Hughenden Manor, while the Guildhall was revealed as Wycombe’s ‘Park Lane’– the second most expensive square players can compete to buy.

Locally pupils from the school can be seen in Matilda the Musical; Matilda the Movie; and shortly in pantomimes at Wycombe Swan, Chesham, and Aylesbury. We have been wonderfully spoilt for choice putting this game together. A huge thank you to everyone who sent in suggestions”.The property sets will be themed around different genres. From shopping to sport, the arts to leisure – and lots more including a travel set on the four MONOPOLY train stations. That’s because High Wycombe doesn’t have a multitude of main line stations to select from like in the London MONOPOLY original. HWBIDCo Chief Executive, Melanie Williams bagged her own copy for playing with friends over the festive season, “It’s great to see High Wycombe represented in such an iconic way, and a real coup for the town to be included in the prestigious list of Monopoly locations, especially with so many local organisations featured. It’s very exciting for us to have been a part of this process and I know it’ll be a hit with the High Wycombe audience – I can’t wait to have a play, but I will definitely be playing to win!” Several High Wycombe landmarks, locations and organisations scooped up top spots on Wycombe’s own MONOPOLY.
