Exterior Description
The Anglican grade II* listed church of All Saints, Calbourne as it stands now, still retains the original 13th century chancel and south aisle chapel (Westover). It is built from Isle of Wight stone rubble with some flint work and tiled roofs. The two eastern windows, particularly the one in the chancel, are fine examples of early English architecture, consisiting of two large lancets with a trefoiled circle above one and a quatrefoil above the other.
The lower part of the tower is also C13 with the upper part of the tower rebuilt in 1752, after remaining in ruins from a fire in 1683. A North Chapel and Crypt was added in 1842 and built by A F Livesay on the instructions of his patron, Sir Richard Simeon of Swainston Manor, the former Bishop’s Palace. The North Porch was also constructed at this time.
