- Hartley Wintney, Hampshire (St Mary's Church)
Spend some time in St Mary’s and you will be richly rewarded. Originally built by nuns, the church now consists of a 13th-century nave and chancel, while the transepts and flint tower are 19th-century additions.
Highlights include the remains of 13th-century wall paintings, including one of St Christopher.
Also search out the graves of two commanders of the British Army - General Henry 'Hangman’ Hawley, who defeated Bonny Prince Charlie at Culloden, and Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, Churchill’s closest military advisor during the Second World War.

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.
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.

I had visited St Mary's first about 1967,they had just opened the church for restoration, and my wife and I were able to see some of the wall paintings that had been uncovered.
I was born in Phoenix Green in 1944, and this was my first visit back to my homeland. Interestingly neither my Mother or Granmother had ever been inside Old St Mary's. The grew up in HartleyWntney.
