Exploring North Stoneham Park

Early photographs of North Stoneham Church

St Nicolas, North Stoneham Church

The south side of the church photographed in 1886. Rev. Arthur Willis Fleming had died the previous year, and the new incumbent, Rev. Elliott Kenworthy Browne, found the church to be in a neglected state, and soon embarked on a programme of restoration. © The Willis Fleming Historical Trust.

St Nicolas, North Stoneham Church

A tinted view, from around 1900. The glimpse of the deer park beyond shows that the churchyard was, as John Duthy said, separated 'from the park by a light iron fence unobservable at a little distance'. In the early nineteenth century, the stocks were still located just to the right of the gate in the foreground. © The Willis Fleming Historical Trust.
