A rare surviving Saxon church

Corhampton Church was built around 1020 and survives as an almost complete two-cell Saxon building, with an original chancel arch and a carved sundial by the south porch that are both considered rare survivals from that period.

Planning authority

As with its Meon Valley neighbours, planning matters in Corhampton fall to the South Downs National Park Authority rather than Winchester City Council, because the parish lies inside the National Park boundary.

Twinned with its neighbour across the river

Corhampton's civil parish merged with neighbouring Meonstoke in 1932, and the two villages, linked by a footbridge over the Meon, are often treated as a single community even though each keeps its own character.
