Description

The original St Mary’s church was built in 1204 by William de Burgh but the original structure has disappeared and the church was rebuilt between the 14th and 16th centuries. It was renovated in 1805.
Captain John Durrant (fl.1790-1830) was a highly skilled amateur artist and army officer who was stationed at Portchester Castle, Hampshire, between 1803 and 1813. He was also stationed at Dover, Gosport and Colchester during his career. An ability to sketch was a prized asset in the armed forces in the days before photography and Durrant is likely to have trained in the art of topographical draughtsmanship at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich where Paul Sandby, R.A. (1730-1809) taught until 1796. An album of over hundred drawings by him is in the collection of Hampshire council.
