Original sepia print of Corhampton Church with three figures and part of a barn in the background, c. 1870

Photograph of Corhampton Church

Taken about 1870

Corhampton Church dates from the early eleventh century, and although the east wall is of nineteenth century brick a narrow window can be seen in the chancel's south wall. The church is exceptional not only on account of its Saxon architecture, but also because of the mediaeval wall paintings in the chancel and nave. Note the two Victorian gentlemen in the lane and a third figure in the churchyard.

The photograph was taken by Winchester photographer William Savage (1817-87) and is found in an album entitled 'Hampshire Views of Churches, Country Houses and Public Buildings'.
