Church of St Lawrence, Ecchinswell, Hampshire
Church of St Lawrence, Ecchinswell, Hampshire
1886, by Bodley and Garner, in the Decorated style. Nave and chancel in one line, with aisles on each side, the south-west corner raised as a Tower. A continuous tile roof over the whole building is brought lower above the aisles at a slightly lesser angle. The walling is of knapped flint with Bathstone dressings; eaves fascia with brackets, banding in the west gables and tower, stepped buttresses, cill band at the west end, quoins, plinth; the external facet of the half-hexagon Tower stair turret. There are small cusped and ogee-headed lights in some places, coupled lights with reticulated heads, and traceried windows at each end. The entrance is through the base of the Tower, which has a square boarded belfry stage, surmounted by a plain shingled spire. Within, there are 2 arches between nave and aisles, and between chancel and south chapel, the plain walling between these 2 parts having a low doorway, the entry to the choir being through a wooden screen. The north aisle passes eastwards into an organ chamber and vestry. A 'Perpendicular' font has a wood cover suspended from a decorative wrought-iron bracket. Interior details are simple, with octagonal columns, and pointed arches in 3 stages.
