Breamore - St Mary

Breamore - St Mary
The church of Saint Mary is an almost complete example of an Anglo-Saxon (pre-conquest) church, erected around 1000. The building consists of a chancel and aisleless nave separated by square central tower. The east window with net like tracery dates from 1340. There is a "leper window" in the north wall.

Seven "double-splayed" Saxon windows remain. The chancel arch and arch in west wall of the tower are 15th century. There is an Anglo Saxon inscription dating from the reign of Æthelred the Unready, and a badly mutilated Saxon rood with figures of Our Lady and Saint John.
