Description
The Church of the Holy Saviour is an Anglican parish church built in 1880 by the architect G.E. Street for Lady Hannah Watson-Taylor of Erlestoke Park. It is constructed from ashlar stone and features plain tile roofs with coped gables, showcasing a Perpendicular architectural style. The church comprises a nave, chancel, north chapel, organ chamber, south porch tower, transept, and vestry.
On the west side, there is a four-light window, while the nave has three windows separated by buttresses. The south side includes two windows and a projecting three-stage tower with two-light bell openings, an embattled parapet, and a pyramid roof. There is a stair tower on the east side leading to the second stage. The south doorway is moulded and pointed, and to the right, the transept gable features a two-light flat-headed window. The lean-to vestry has a door and a flat-headed window, and there is one window on the chancel's south wall along with a five-light east window. The north side of the chancel has one window, and the north chapel has gables at both ends with a three-light flat-headed east window. The nave's north side contains three windows.
Inside, the church has an ashlar-lined interior with a hammerbeam roof in the nave and an arch-braced roof in the chancel. The chancel arch and the arch to the north chapel are continuously moulded, while the south transept features a four-centred arch. The chancel has stained glass windows by Kempe from 1880 and around 1887. In the nave, there is a 16th-century oak pulpit. The north chapel contains a brass memorial to E. Axford, who died in 1726, and a plaque for J. Tilly, who died in 1750. The south transept has four reset armorial plaques. In the porch and nave, there are three short Norman columns and half-columns, believed to have come from a previous church, although that church was likely aisleless.
