| But Where Is It? | |
I visited this church in the 1970's and made a pencil drawing of an effigy of a cross legged knight, which I recall was under an arch in either the north or south wall, although I cannot now remember which. Unusually the monument had an inscription and even more unusually this was in Norman French. This effigy is referred to in Pevsner and other books on Hampshire as well as on several sites on the internet. However to my disappointment on a more recent visit in 2019 I could not find it. It seems it was in a chapel in the north side of the church which was once open but is now closed by a locked door; I found this latter information on the internet, written by another disappointed visitor who had visited the church especially to see the effigy. I found this particularly disappointing as, prior to our visit, I had written to the church administrator asking for permission to visit the church and take photographs of the monuments; I received no reply. It is to be regretted that the church found it necessary to prevent visitors from seeing this interesting monument: a local example akin to the British Museum deciding to lock away the Rosette Stone! |
