Description: | The church was the refectory of Beaulieu Abbey before the Dissolution in 1538. The print forms plate 2 of Francis Grose, The Antiquities of England and Wales, 1784, volume 2. This view shows well the mighty south buttress, dated 1743, which tells of rescue action taken at this date.
The accompanying text, quoting a manuscript source of about 1648, says: "This church is a spacious room, the walls of stone, the roofe of timber and covered with slates, but ruinous; it hath no steeple, and but one small bell hunge in a small wooden frame, at the north end of the church, in a square part thereof, separate by a wall from the lower end of the church, fit for a schoolehouse or vestry
