Church of St John the Baptist, Wappenbury

1 Chancel, W tower, nave, S aisle, S porch and S transept.
2 Built in the early 13th century when it consisted of chancel and nave. Early 14th century W tower built on the S side of the nave, together with a S aisle and porch. Nave and S aisle completely ‘restored’ c1825 but were pulled down in 1885 and rebuilt in the character of 14th century work, and at the same time a S porch and transept were added and the whole church re-roofed. The first recorded presentation is in 1283.
3 Drawing of c1820.
4 Good Early English chancel with lancets, priest’s doorway and piscina. S arcade rebuilt in 1886, when the church was ruthlessly restored.
5 Noted by Ordnance Survey.
6 Observation of drainage works revealed 13th century foundation material, probably the foundation of a butress at the corner of the original 13th-century nave.
