Listed Building record TQ 45 SE 153 - CHURCH OF ST MARY
Summary
Grade I listed building. Main construction periods 1066 to 1799. A two-cell 12th century church greatly enlarged and extended in the 13th century when the North and South aisles and chapels were added and the chancel extended. The tower may also be 13th century in origin. It was renovated again in the 15th century, when the aisles and chapels were heightened, tower remodelled, and the chancel arch rebuilt. Chancel remodelled circa 1808 by J Carter of Lord Fredrick Campbell of Coombe Bank, although few traces of this work remain. Restored by Street 1848-9. A fire in 1882 badly damaged the chancel, and repairs were carried out to designs by T E C Streatfield. There was further repair and restoration in the 20th century to designs by W D Caroƫ. Sandstone rubble with tiled roofs and shingled spire. The chancel is rendered.
