Scene Description: Source caption: "St Andrews church stands in splendid isolation in a pasture, at least quarter of a mile from the nearest dwelling. Explanations for this range from the Black Death through to the Civil War, the latter having been fought heavily over these parts. Whatever the reason, the foundations of the ancient village that surrounded it can still be seen. The church was rebuilt in the 18th Century and the tower, which holds three bells, was added around 1873. The church is most unusual in being perfectly cruciform."

There is an entry for Farleigh [Wallop] [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SU6246/farleigh-wallop/] [accessed 11 July 2018] but it mentions neither priest nor church in it. The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 3, 1908) notes: "There was a church in the parish in the reign of Edward I [1272-1307] The church of St. John [...] was entirely rebuilt in the middle of the eighteenth century [...] and the west tower dates from 1873. [...] The octagonal stone font is modern, and replaces one of wood." The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SU6194647370] reports a Victorian font in it. [NB: we have no information on either the original medieval font, or the wooden font replaced by the present one, which is Victorian] [the VCH has the dedication as St. John; Crockford's and the Church of England's web site [www.achurchnearyou.com/farleigh-wallop-st-andrew/] [accessed 25 August 2011] have St. Andrew].
