The Church of St. Nicholas, Boarhunt, Hampshire - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Some archaeologists think that a place of worship existed on this site in the pre Christian era. While the date of the foundation of the church is lost in history it was certainly built by Saxons. There are several original Saxon features still to be seen today. Despite a general restoration in 1853 much of the original church remains. In the nave is the boxed Squire's pew which is still used as such. The three-decker pulpit and the west gallery, all in plain pitch pine, remain from the restoration of 1853.
Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the celebrated commentator on architecture and art observed that the restoration work 'suggests an immunity, in this remote place, from the influence of ecclesiological revival which had, by then, penetrated almost everywhere else'.
