More about this scene
Rebuilt in 1856-8 on a medieval site, this church has fragments from the old church on display. The architect was Woodyer of Guildford, and the builder Holdaway from Wherwell. An inscription reads, '1691 Purchased of the Right Honbl John Ld La-War By Philadelphia Whitehead out of Ye Yearly Rent of The White Lion Inn in Wherwell the Sum of Twelve Shillings to be paid yearly to Twelve old Men and Women at Christmas for ever'. What confidence in the future!
