Corhampton Church, Saxon church in Corhampton, England.

The stone church rises from a raised mound near the River Meon, featuring Saxon architectural elements including pilaster strips and long-short stone quoins.

The church structure, constructed around 1020 during King Canute's reign, maintains its original Saxon chancel arch and stone altar with five consecration crosses.

Medieval wall paintings within the church depict scenes from the life of St Swithun, including the tale of him mending broken eggs.

The church stands at Warnford Road in Corhampton, with stones transported from the Isle of Wight via the River Meon during construction.

An original Saxon sundial divided into eight tides rather than twelve hours remains embedded in the church wall near the south porch.
