Description
The Parish Church of St Giles is a Grade II listed building located in Graffham. It features a chancel with a vestry to the north and a south chapel, a nave with aisles, and a west tower topped with a broached shingled spire. The two westernmost arches of the nave arcade date back to the 12th century. The rest of the church was rebuilt in 1875 in memory of Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, who served as Bishop of Winchester and resided at Lavington Park in the nearby parish of East Lavington from 1845 to 1873. The architect for this restoration was G E Street, and the tower was added in 1887. Notably, Bishop Wilberforce's brother-in-law, Archdeacon Henry Edward Manning, who later became a Cardinal, was the Rector of this parish alongside East Lavington from 1833 to 1851.
