A countdown of the best five #ChurchesToVisitSalisburyToTheSea. In at number 3: #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire. A 'church of Saxon origin though not as much Saxon left as you may be led to believe. Don't miss the parvis room with painted Saxon rood, Saxon arch and a history lesson in C15 window design

Under this wall painting is a Saxon Rood. Apparently one of only four in Hampshire. It was moved when the porch was built. Most of the relief has been hacked away

A church of Saxon origin. C9 but much changed particularly C15 and with the seeming haphazard insertion of windows. Quite how much of the Saxon fabric still stands is debatable as far as Mouse is concerned. Plan of crossing tower, nave, chancel, south porticus and porch #StMaryBreamore #Hampshire

The window is more Early English in style and the pointed chamfered arch has been curtailed. As we will discover it would be no surprise if this was re-used from another building entirely

A Saxon church feature you might look for is a herringbone pattern in the wall construction as seen left at #StPeterManningford a technique that continued post-conquest. Mouse found little evidence of this in the flint rubble walls at #StMaryBreamore (right) Follow for more: #SaxonBreamore (2/8)
