Description of Archaeology and History
Architect unknown, the church was built in 1806.
Exterior Description
The church is built throughout of the light-red brick which is typical of Hampshire, and roofed with slate. The building was probably intended as the estate church for Dogmersfield Park and is of the utmost simplicity. The square western tower rises without any external division, to the embattled parapet. Above the plain arched entrance door are two tiers of wide-pointed windows, all of which once had "Y" tracery. Most of the tracery has now gone, and the lower tier of windows have boon filled in with cement.
The body of the church is very wide with a shallow-pitched roof. There are two windows on each of the side walls, and once again they are wide-pointed windows with "Y" tracery and, in this case, a few fragments of glass remain. The east wall is plain and windowless, and no signs of ever having had windows pierced through it.
Interior
Interior Description
