The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Winchester, value £53, in the patronage of John Fleming, Esq., who rebuilt the church at his sole expense. It is in the Gothic style, and is a small but handsome edifice with neat spire, containing a beautiful stained-glass window of the Evangelists. A monument stands in the churchyard to the memory of the late Hon. Richard G. Quin, and likewise a mausoleum to W. H. Pitt, Esq. John B. Fleming, Esq., of Stoneham Park, owns the manor and the whole of the parish, which consists generally of open ground and woodland."

You can also perform a more selective search for churches in the area that are recorded in the GENUKI church database. This will also help identify churches in nearby townships and/or parishes. You also have the option to see the location of the churches marked marked on a map.
If you keep this page loaded for a very long time and the database is updated since loading it, the church links above may become stale and may display the wrong church. If this happens, reloading this page will correct them.
