Woolbeding 1870 Notes.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Domesday Book of 1086 records Woolbeding as Welbedinge, meaning Wulfbeard's people.
The oldest parts of the Church of England parish church of All Hallows are Saxon.
Woolbeding Bridge across the River Rother is a medieval one, with three arches and two cutwaters.
-
All Hallows parish church is a Grade I listed building. The tower is small, with eight short pinnacles in a vaguely medieval style.
It was built in 1728 but it has lancet windows that look like re-used Saxon or Norman ones.
The present chancel is Gothic Revival and was built in 1870 but the nave has tall Anglo-Saxon proportions, with plain pilasters from ground to roof, and a blocked doorway.
There are more pilasters on the north wall, including a truncated one with traces of a filled-in window above it.
The quoins are of large stones. These features suggest a Saxon date for the main body of the church.
Inside the church is a wall monument to Lady Dame Margaret Mill, wife of Sir Richard Mill of Woolbeding, daughter of Robert Knollys, Esq., of "Grove Place, Co. Southampton", died 1744, aged 56. The coat of arms shown is Per fesse Argent and Sable, a pale, and three bears salient, two and one, counterchanged, muzzled and chained Or, impaling Gules, on a chevron Argent three roses of the field, a canton Argent (recte: Ermine).
Next to a wall that separates the churchyard from the grounds of the manor house is a miniature mausoleum with Tuscan columns and square pilasters, with a frieze of military trophies such as pikes, rifles, cannon, battleaxes, drums and a helmet.
There is a line of ancient yew trees near the church.
