History
The church is medieval in origin.[1]
It is now in the same parish as St. Mark's Church, Wootton, although the medieval parish only included a small part of what is now the larger settlement of Wootton Bridge. There was a detached portion of the parish at Chillerton.
The churchyard contains the Commonwealth war grave of a Hampshire Regiment soldier of World War I.[2]
Organ
The pipe organ dates from 1869 and was originally installed in St Andrew's Church, Norton Green, near Freshwater. It was moved here in the early 1980s when that church became redundant. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

gollark: The map data is generated from crawling the "distributed hash table" somehow, and apparently only has the tree structure generated for routing somehow, *not* the list of all the inter-node links.
gollark: The map displays the entire network as a *tree*, though, instead of the actual *graph* structure, I think because they can't read the full data out somehow.
