- Colemore, Hampshire (Church of St Peter ad Vincula)
This remote and charming upland church has had a stormy history since it was built in the 12th century.
Cruciform, until its south transept was demolished in 1670, it has several times over the centuries been declared 'ruinous’ and then repaired; now it is again in good order and cherished.
Inside, its two bells (c1380 and 1627) suspended above the west end below the bell turret are a curiosity. The 12th century Purbeck marble font and 16th century wooden screen are notable and there are fine memorials in the nave.
There is also a fine east window (1876) by the Kempe Studio.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
There is one step down into church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

A really interesting hamlet little altered from medieval times. Apart from the church there are two interesting houses, what appears to be a tithe barn and a granery barn standing on its straddle stones.
I should have added that the church was clean and tidy inside - even the pews. All credit to whomever is maintaining the church.
