Church of St Andrew

The Church of St Andrew is the oldest building in the village and people have been worshipping there since the 12th Century.  It is a beautiful church which stands in the centre of the village, surrounded by a spacoius churchyeard with views of the rolling hills of Hampshire all around.  The Church of St Andrew was extended by the Victorians in 1870 and more recently it has undergone a re-ordering and this has included the installation of cloakroom and kitchen facilities and the creation of a Heritage Room for small group meetings. 

St Andrew's church was judged the Best Village Church for the Community by 'Country Life' magazine in 2009.  To mark and celebrate winning this Award, a seat was installed on the newly refurbished village green and a window inside the church was etched by the glass engraver and portrait painter Philip Lawson Johnson.  This etching depicts important landmarks around the village. 

St Andrew's church is a focal point of the village.  Please feel free to drop in for a few minutes of quiet reflection or come to one of our services which provide an opportunity to meet other local people.  We are a very informal, friendly community and children are espcially welcome at all our services.  Even if you are not a regulat church goer, do come along to one of our services.
