Hampshire Churches Photographic Memories
Brown Candover's spired church was built in 1845 by the first Lord Ashburton, replacing an earlier place of worship demolished the previous year. Inside are relics from the old church at Chilton Candover. An impressive set of altar rails carved with vines and cherubs by an Italian craftsman and a large chair carved with figures of Adam and Eve are among the treasures.

Unfortunately, the planting of conifers on the mounds in Victorian times and the mixed tree growth of the last 50 years has successfully camouflaged the outline... [more]
