view of church interior - looking east
Scene Description: view east from beneath the tower -- Source caption: "Chancel, St Mary's Church. The chancel has two lancet windows on the north side and triple lancets to the east, with two Perpendicular, 16th century windows on the south side. The east window is a tribute to the Canadian troops stationed in Bramshott during both World Wars. The three lancets show the Virgin Mary and Child as well as the arms of all the Canadian provinces. There are six bells dating from 1784. They were rehung in 1989 in memory of Boris Karloff the actor "who lived and died within the sound of the bells.""

There is and entry for Bramshott [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU8432/bramshott/] [accessed 27 July 2017], but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The Hampshire Antiquary and Naturalist, vol. 1 (1891): 80ff, reprints an article originally from The Hampshire Independent (31 May 1890) which includes an account of a visit of The Hampshire Field Club to a East Meon and several other churches in its neighbourhood; the font at East Meon arose the interest of the visitors and a lively discussion ensued among them about the charcateristics and origin of the font and its cognates (Winchester, St. Mary Bourne, etc.), with some rather bizarre connections to Byzantine origins for those fonts; one of the visitors, a "Mr. J.M. Peake, of Liphook, mentioned a tradition that there was formerly a similar font in Bramshott church; and the Rev. G.N. Godwin had seen another in the museum at Bruges." Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Decorated period here.
