The church
rests on raised ground slightly above the rest of this big village, but
well below the ramparts of Hambledon Hill.
It has
a powerful C15 greensand tower, but the rest is a Victorian restoration
of 1850 and another by T.H.Wyatt of 1878-9. The slightly garish
chancel was refitted with marble facing to the walls and gold mosaic on
the reredos by Wippell & Co in 1911. The organ in the chancel
was built to a specification of Sir Arthur Sullivan (Gilbert & Sullivan)
who stayed in the village.
An interesting church well
worth a visit.
