view of church exterior - south view

Scene Description: Source caption: "St. Mary the Virgin church, Vernhams Dean. The parish is called Vernhams Dean, the village is Vernham Dean. The church is a mile from the current village centre, closer to the hamlet of Vernham Street. The church is on a sloping site, down to the east. It has an ornate Norman west door, but is otherwise Victorian, about 1851. This is the south side across a churchyard full of interest."

No individual entry found for Vernham/s Dean in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 4, 1911) notes: "The north wall of the nave, which is 3 ft. 1 in. in thickness, is the only part of an early building on this site which is left, and probably belongs to the end of the 12th century; the west doorway is also of this date. All other traces of old work were swept away in 1851, when practically the whole church was rebuilt and new windows." The VCR (ibid.) further notes: "Vernhams Dean was a chapelry dependent on the mother-church of Hurstbourne Tarrant until [...] 1871", and did not have a vicarage until that date; it is not clear whether or not there had been an earlier font in this church.
