- II

Church. 1868-9 by GE Street, 1882 by JL Pearson and 1899-1905 by Sir Arthur Blomfield. Walls of grey Plymouth limestone with Bath stone dressings; Blomfield church has external facing of limestone from Berry Head, Devon, with internal lining of brick; plain tile roofs. PLAN: Street's church in Gothic early Decorated style has nave, chancel with vestry to north; north aisle added in similar style by Pearson; south transept and porch of Street's church removed to make way for Blomfield's Decorated-style church which has west narthex and nave with sanctuary end and south aisle and porch; Street's church then changed into a north aisle with chapel. EXTERIOR: The Street and Pearson work has Decorated-style windows. The Blomfield work has 2-light windows and hood moulds over pointed-arched doorways to lean-to narthex; west end also has linked hood moulds over 2-light windows and corner turret with spirelet reset from Street's church; similar paired clerestorey windows divided by pilaster buttresses; paired lancets to south aisle divided by offset buttresses; pointed-arched doorway to porch adjoining transept, which has lancets over 3-light plate-tracery windows; tall 3-light windows light east end, which has had east window removed following 1985 fire. INTERIOR: Street church includes mosaic sanctuary floor, stone carved reredos, arch-braced roof with cusping to alternate trusses, moulded chancel arch with carved responds. Octagonal piers to 4-bay arcade facing Pearson's aisle, which has arch-braced roof with cusped spandrels and moulded detail. Blomfield's church, most severely damaged in 1985 fire, has retained piscina, credence and sedilia to sanctuary, shafts to Perpendicular roof corbels, 4-bay arcade and chamfered west arch on chamfered piers with similar but lower outer arches to narthex. HISTORY: The building of the church is closely associated with the development of Eastleigh as a railway town after the construction of the London and Southampton railway in 1840. The building of the church in the 1860s was spurred on by gifts from the authoress Charlotte Yonge, an Ecclesiologist and friend of John Keble, founder of the Oxford Movement: the reredos was a gift of Yonge's mother. In 1891 the L & SWR carriage works moved from Nine Elms in London to Eastleigh, the company contributing donations for the building of a new church, Street's church being left on the north side of Blomfield's structure.
