Title: Church of St Mary The Virgin, Bramshott [Go to resource]
Description: The oldest part of the building, the chancel, is part of the original church, built in 1220, and three lancets of the east window are also 13th century.. The 13th century tower was altered in 1400. The present nave was built in 1872. Canadian troops who were stationed on Bramshott Common during both World Wars formed strong links with the village and the church. In the churchyard are more than three hundred graves of Canadian servicemen, who died here during the First World War, many from the influenza epidemic in 1918.
