Description: | The Victoria History of Hampshire (volume 3, 1908, p. 40) thought the exterior of the church "uninteresting". The church consisted in 1807 of a small Early Norman chancel, nave with north and south aisles, porch and a low west tower, the upper part weather boarded, containing three bells. The construction is brick and flint, with a red-tile roof.
The font, shown in an inset, is of a common twelfth- century table type, and is probably contemporary with the church. It is of Purbeck marble, with its shallow square lead-lined bowl having round-headed arcades on each face and carried on a round central shaft.
