| Full Description: The church itself is architecturally quite plain, especially internally. This is compensated by the medieval wall paintings and the furnishings. Nikolaus Pevsner thought it one of the most fully furnished churches in Hampshire.
There is no division between nave and chancel, except for the panelling over the rood. This is ceiled and has bosses in the junctions between the square panels. It was made 1529-31.
The fine screen is Perpendicular, although much restored. The basic formula of five-light divisions is, according to Pevsner, unique in Hampshire.
The nave and chancel are twelfth century, and contain many traces of medieval wall paintings. On the far wall, to the left of the altar, we can see a large, over-restored St James. The pulpit is eighteenth century.
