St Marys

St. Mary’s Church ( map ) in Old Basing has a rich history dating back to at least 1077, with a possible earlier wooden church on the site built on the site of a natural spring. The current structure, primarily from the 16th century, incorporates earlier features, including Norman arches. The church experienced significant damage during the Civil War, particularly during the siege of Basing House, and was rebuilt afterward.
