St Nicholas, North Stoneham

St Nicholas, North Stoneham

St Nicholas is “An intriguing and problematical building…”. The church was rebuilt at some time between 1590 and 1610 with older features, possibly from other buildings, incorporated; it was restored in 1826 and again later in the 19th Century. (The Buildings of England: Hampshire & the Isle of Wight, 1985)
