Summary Description

St Mary’s serves the six villages of Copythorne, Cadnam, Bartley, Newbridge, Ower and Winsor. As such it is located in the centre of the parish, rather than in one of the villages. The building was designed by Thomas Benham and appears to be the only example of his architecture in this area. It is in a debased Gothic style with a nave, south aisle, north porch and a four-stage tower at the west end, topped with a crenelated parapet wall and four pinnacles, containing one bell.
