Binsted

Hampshire

Early and late C12, early C13, C133O, C15, and substantial restoration of 1863

Architectural Features

Beginning as an aisless nave and chancel, the C12 saw extensions, of aisles to the nave (arcades of 4 bays), of chapels to the chancel (arcades of 2 bays) and a west tower

The chancel was extended in the C13, and a C15 vestry was added on its north side

There are piscinas in the chancel and chapels, arched tomb recesses in the south and north chapels, the north having a recumbent figure of a 'crusader' knight

There are several floor slabs, some with inset brasses of the C17, and an alabaster font of 1896.
