Our Building
Grade I listed, unusually undedicated, Corhampton Church has stood witness to Christian worship since 1020, the reign of King Canute. With 12th century frescoes of St Swithun, a Saxon Quarr stone font, a Saxon stone altar (now to one side) and a Saxon sun or tide dial, it also has a gallery for the choir and organ. Outside is an almost certainly older yew tree. A new east end was constructed following its collapse in 1842. A major restoration took place in 1999. Church capacity is about 60.
Being a single aisled church, Corhampton is a warm space.
Music and Worship
J W Walker built the organ in 1857, shortly before that for Romsey Abbey. In the early 1970s it was modified, by replacing the original levered wind pump with an electric fan. It has one manual and no pedal.
Book of Common Prayer Eucharist Services alternate with Common Worship Holy Communion Services on the third Sunday of each month.
The Benefice Choir sing at services from time to time.
