St. Mary’s Church, Binsted
St Mary’s Church in Binsted is a delightful single aisle and chancel dating from around 1150 AD. The simple Norman architecture brings a sense of peace. The interior includes remnants of a 13th century wall painting showing a woman wearing a royal crown – possibly St Mary, Queen of heaven. It is also an important Grade II* listed heritage building, sitting on top of an Iron Age earthwork.
The small churchyard gives wide views over the surrounding countryside across a small valley heading south towards the sea.
