Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a parish church located on Church Road in East Meon. It features an early 12th century Norman cruciform plan with a central tower, an early 13th century south chapel, and a south aisle to the nave consisting of three bays. The east end was rebuilt around 1500, and the church underwent restorations in 1870 by Ewan Christian and between 1906 and 1922 by Sir Ninian Comper. The walls are constructed of flint with stone dressings, including one Norman window, while most other windows, which have been restored, date from the 14th and 15th centuries. The notable Norman west door has recessed orders with zigzag ornamentation. The central tower is capped by a broach spire and features a triple arcade at the bell stage with circular openings above. The roof is slate, with lead covering the tower and nave.

Inside, the church showcases 13th century moulded arches supported by circular columns between the chancel and chapel and octagonal columns in the nave, all with moulded caps and bases. The reveals of the Norman windows are preserved on the east and west sides of the south transept, and there are traces of medieval painting. The pulpit, dating from 1706, was relocated in 1906 from the Church of the Holy Trinity in Minories, London, and is octagonal with panels and bolection mouldings. The church also contains several wall monuments, primarily in the south chapel, from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Additionally, the font bowl from Westbury Chapel is located in the south aisle, and the church is renowned for its Tournai font.
