Overview

Walling is flint with variable stone rubble and some brick, under red tile roofs in three lines. The nave has three arches on the north (fourteenth century) and four on the south (thirteenth century). Most windows are restored Decorated and Perpendicular tracery. The two tower stages above eaves level are mid-seventeenth-century red brick with classical detail: Ionic pilasters, a rusticated round-headed bell opening, crenellated parapet and early nineteenth-century corner pinnacles.

Interior fittings listed by Historic England include a seventeenth-century pulpit, galleries of 1632, a series of small brasses, a royal coat of arms of 1661, a churchwarden's chest and a font of about 1500. The church stands near Odiham High Street, about ten miles from Basingstoke.
