More about this scene
Dedicated to St Swithun, a Bishop of Winchester from 852 to 862, this imposing structure, dating from the 1790s, stands on the site of an earlier church that had been reduced to ruins by the collapse of its tower. It is in the Perpendicular style and was designed by James Wyatt. The vicar at the time of this picture was the Revd Douglas Yeoman Blakiston, who had trained as an artist. Almost the only change to the structure since 1890 has been the removal of the ivy.
