Background

History

The church was built in the 13th century by the nuns of Wintney Priory. At this time it consisted of a nave and a chancel. In 1416, two carpenters from Basingstoke, John Willam and William Austin, made a contract with the Prioress, Joan Bannebury, to replace the roof and a belfry set on four posts. The transepts and the tower were added in the middle of the 19th century.

Architecture

In the chancel is a 12th-century piscina, Also in the church are box pews, a communion rail dating from the early 18th century, hatchments, and a royal arms dated 1705. There are the remains of 13th-century wall paintings, including one depicting Saint Christopher, and another showing Saint George killing the dragon.
