Description
The Church of St Mary is a parish church located in Bramshott, dating back to around 1220. It features an aisleless design with a central tower, north and south transepts added around 1400, and a nave built in 1871 that includes four bays and aisles, along with a west porch that replaced the former north porch. The church's walls are constructed of sandstone rubble in the chancel and ashlar in the transepts and nave, which is supported by stepped buttresses.
The chancel has two lancet windows on the north side and three lancets on the east, along with two Perpendicular windows from around 1500 on the south side. The transepts feature traceried Perpendicular windows in their east walls and gables, while the west windows have been incorporated into the 19th-century aisles. The aisles contain coupled traceried windows in a 14th-century style, and the west end of the nave showcases a large, high, curving triangular window filled with a series of diminishing trefoils. The tower consists of two stages topped with a shingled broach spire supported by a 15th-century timber frame.
Inside, the east end and crossing remain as originally built, featuring 14th-century squints and old king post roofing, although the tie beams have been removed in the chancel. The north and south tower arches are from the 14th century, while the east and west arches were raised in 1871. Within the original sections of the chancel and transepts, there are several wall and slab monuments dating from the late 17th to early 19th centuries, fragments of medieval glass (also found in the porch), brasses, and a delicate small classical font from around 1700. To the west of the tower, the interior is predominantly Victorian in a plain Early English style, featuring a canopied Gothic pulpit from 1938, a canopied stall, desk, and lectern from 1951, and a 13th-century font with a plain bowl on clustered columns.
