South Warnborough is recorded in the Domesday book with the following words:

 “Guy (de Craon) holds it of him with his daughter…..in the desmene are 12 ploughs and 15 villeins and 16 bordars with 6 ploughs. There are a church, and 3 serfs, and a mill worth 10 shillings”

The oldest parts of the existing church date back to the 12th century. The 15th century rood loft is one of only two remaining in Hampshire and the church contains a number of interesting monuments and stained glass windows. A plan and walk through is attached below.

In 2009 the church won the ‘Village Church for Village Life’ Award’ following extensive improvements undertaken by a dedicated team of local volunteers. Their work is celebrated in an engraved glass window bearing scenes from the village and church, with the words of psalm 133.1: ‘How good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters live together in unity’.

Visitors are always welcome and the church is open daily.
