St Mary's Church, Hayling Island, Medieval parish church in Hayling Island, England
The stone church stands at the highest point of Hayling Island, rising 20 feet above sea level with four sun dials on its exterior walls.
The construction occurred in the thirteenth century, becoming the central church after flooding destroyed the priory church along the southern edge of the island.
The interior features two distinct fonts: a Saxon stone basin with interlacing patterns and a Norman font displaying simpler geometric designs.
The 2010 reordering replaced Victorian pews with chairs, creating an open space while repairs addressed structural issues in the supporting pillars.
The churchyard contains an ancient yew tree with a nine-meter girth, estimated to be between one and two thousand years old.
