St Mary's Church, Fordingbridge

The church building features a 14th-century tower constructed from large ashlar blocks, while the remaining structure incorporates rubble and flint materials throughout its walls.

Founded in 1150, St Mary's Church replaced an earlier Saxon building and underwent significant expansion in the 13th century with the addition of two aisles and a chapel.

The church maintains regular Sunday services at 10:00 AM and keeps its North Chapel open daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM for private prayer and reflection.

The building includes designated parking spaces for individuals with disabilities, level access through the South Door during services, and an accessible restroom within the premises.

The church tower stands on substantial piers inside a bay of the north aisle rather than outside the building, a departure from typical church architecture of its time.
