Background
History
The church was constructed in 1844 and was designed by Benjamin Ferrey in the Neo-Norman architectural style. In 1846, the Church of England's Church Commissioners petitioned the Supreme Governor of the Church of England Queen Victoria to merge the nearby parishes of Droxford and Bishops Waltham into St Barnabas's in Swanmore as they had agreed with the Bishop of Winchester, which the Queen granted. The vestry and chancel were extended in 1863 with a tower and new windows being installed in 1876.
