A Grade I Listed Saxon and Norman church rebuilt in the 10th century to replace an earlier stone and flint building.
The church is remarkable for its solitary position and for unusual wall paintings from the 1330s which were mistakenly believed to depict a scene from the conversion of St Hubert but actually reveal the Hairy Anchorite or wherewolf from a central European legend.
The church is open to visitors each day throughout the year. It is a popular venue for walkers and other recreational and cultural activities.

Finchdean Village and The George Pub

Highlight • Historical Site

Finchdean is a hamlet just north of Rowlands Castle in the South Downs National Park. Every building seems to have stepped out of the past and you'll find a historic pound here, a place where stray animals were kept until their owners were found. If you're hiking in the area and are after some lunch, check out the George Pub.

The Bumble Bee Café

Highlight • Cafe

Nice cosy cafe on the green at Rowlands Castle, offers great food at very reasonable prices.

The Club Sandwich was massive and the milkshake refreshing on one of the warmest days of the year so far.

Be mindful of opening hours, though, as they close at 4pm.
