Corhampton Church

The church stands on a mound next to the River Meon. It was built about 1020, and is described in the listing text as an "almost complete two-cell Saxon church". The stone sundial, to the right of the south porch, is a Saxon tide dial. Inside is the original Saxon chancel arch.^[2][3][4][5]

In the south-east of the chancel is a stone seat, thought to date from the 13th century. The vestry and south porch are later constructions. The altar rail is 18th-century, and there is a 19th-century gallery at the west end. The east end of the chancel was rebuilt in brick in 1855.^[3][4]

There was restoration in 1905 by Sir Thomas Jackson, including the top of the west gable, which has a diaper brick and flint pattern.^[3] There was further restoration in 1999.^[2]

Medieval wall paintings, now faint, were discovered in the 19th century. They are on the west side of the chancel arch, showing the expulsion from the Garden of Eden; and on the north, south and west walls of the chancel, showing legendary stories from the life of St Swithun.^[3][5]
