Hampshire

C13, restoration 1869 by Street (of the nave) and 1892 by Blomfield

Architectural Features

The interior arcade (with cusped circular small clerestory lights above the columns) has been restored, but the tower supports (½ octagonal columns set against a square core) and the rest of the interior is C13, the notable features being the tall lancets (5 at the east end) of the chancel

There is a double-arched piscina and the part-remains of an old Purbeck font

Externally, the C13 effect is complete, with steep tile roofing, stepped buttresses, lancets, a C19 Perpendicular west window, and a plain C13 west door
