The Victoria County History (Hampshire, vol. 5, 1912) notes: "The south wall of the nave and the west tower are the only old parts of the church, the chancel having been rebuilt in 1859 and the north chapel added, and the north transept and aisle are also modern. [...] The upper part of the base of the square font of Purbeck marble dates from the end of the 12th century, but the font is otherwise modern."
