Timber-framed throughout and late
medieval (i.e. towards end of 15th century). Nave and aisles,
chancel, shingled bell-turret. The aisles are of 1867, and at that time
much was restored too. The infilling between the timbers is of brick-nogging
(in herringbone fashion with bricks formed as parallelograms). |

The N porch, at the W end of the N
aisle, is original too, though partly renewed. |

Inside, the arcade piers show clearly
that they were originally wall-posts of an aisleless nave. In the
chancel the wall-posts are in order. Their mouldings are Perp. The roof
has tie-beams, collar-beams, and one tier of wind-braces. |

The chancel is in a good state and
has a straight-headed five-light E window (in memory of Viscount
Eversley, Lord of the Manor in the later 19th century). Panelling in
the altar area; C17. |

"The Church has no patron saint - possibly because the original building
on the site was, to start with, a moot hall - that is, a place where
meetings were held. On the other hand it may have been because it was,
in the early days, a "chapel of ease" to the Parish Church of St.
Michael and All Angels, Heckfield." (From
Parish of Mattingley website) |
