South Warnborough
The parish rises southwards from the valley of the Whitewater to the Hampshire Downs and includes many old brick and half-timbered cottages, and is 2¼ south west of Odiham.

St Andrew's church dates from the early 12th century. Its walls are made of flint rubble, except for the West wall of the nave and the19th century South aisle. Its roof are now tiled, though in the Middle-Ages they were possibly thatched.

The wooden bell tower is from the late 14th century. Inside, the roofs of the nave and chancel are of the trussed-rafter type, that were used in medieval and late medieval times.

Inside there is a tomb and monuments to the White family dating back to the 16th century.

 

In its original form the church did not have a South aisle, this was added by the Victoria architect Street around 1870. There were, however, nave altars on either side of the chancel steps as well as the main altar at the East end.The church which  was, restored in 1870, consists of chancel, nave and aisle, principally of the Early English, with traces of .Norman, Decorated and Perpendicular work.
