| Full Description: St Mary’s Church, Farnham Royal, was first built in the early part of the 13th century; of the original building only the chancel still stands. The church was enlarged and largely rebuilt in 1821. This work proved unsatisfactory so the building, with the exception of the chancel, was demolished in 1868. Messrs. Nesfield and Shaw were employed as architects of the new building. During the reconstruction an early piscina and ambry were discovered; these can still be seen in the chancel together with a Norman window. Work on the new church was completed in 1869, except for the tower. This was added in 1876, funded mainly by Henry Dodd of Rotherfield in Sussex in memory of his father, a Farnham Royal resident.
The six bells, removed in 1868, were re-hung; to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee two further bells were installed to complete the octave.
Features of the church include a 15th century font, a stained glass window designed and made by the firm of William Morris and a memorial brass erected to the memory of Eustace Mascoll, once Clerk of the Works to Cardinal Wolsey. |
