Almost like a cottage on the outside, this peaceful 12th-century church sits in the rural Hampshire village of Upper Wield. The font, also 12th century, is made from Purbeck stone while Norman stonework above the main door shows the faint remnants of the Ten Commandments. A monument to Southampton's former 17th-century mayor, Sir William Wallop, can be found within.
