More about this scene
This ancient priory church occupies one of the loveliest settings in Hampshire. Overlooking Portsmouth Harbour and fanned by sea breezes, the church lies inside a Roman fort, which is thought to have been built towards the end of the 3rd century AD. Queen Anne contributed towards the restoration of the church in 1710, and the church includes a Norman arch with carved capitals. Above the capitals are the fish and bowmen of the zodiac.
