Description: | A near contemporary description of Andover church is given in John Britton and Edward Wedlake Brayley. 1810. A Topographical and Historical Description of the County of Hampshire, p. 233 (probably written in 1805): "The Church is a spacious structure, standing at the north end of the town, and consisting of a nave, side aisles, and chancel, with a transept on the north, and a low tower rising from the centre: at the west end is a fine semicircular arched door-way, with zig-zag mouldings."
This building was demolished to make way for the present church, built 1840-44. The old west doorway was removed to another site in High Street, now called the 'Norman Gate'. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Subjects: | St Mary church Norman Gate churchyard gravestone | Temporal: | start=1809-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
