St Mary

Chilcomb

Hampshire

C12 foundation, C15 alterations and additions, and restorations and additions of 1887 and 1901

Architectural Features

The chancel windows are lancets but the aisles have C15 coupled lights within square frames, with hood moulds terminating in carved heads

Inside, the pointed chancel arch (C14) rests on Norman jambs, with scalloped caps to the nook shafts

on its east side is an inserted fragment of zig-zag ornament from the original Norman arch

The nave was rebuilt in the C15, with a centre line north of that of the chancel, and it is likely that the 3 bay arcade belongs to the same date

There are floor and wall monuments of the late C18 and early C19, a Perpendicular octagonal font, and inscribed brass memorial of 1609 (to Dr Reniger), a C19 pulpit, a C17 wood chest, and a cast-iron muniments chest of 1813.
