| 説明 | In the heart of Medstead, on raised ground and partly shaded by grand yews, is the attractive village church of St. Andrew. Externally, most of the walls are faced with flint, upon which the roof, covered in small clay tiles, and a small wooden bell turret rest - building materials indigenous to this area.The Parish Church of St. Andrew is the oldest documented building in Medstead. The origins of the Church and the parish of Medstead can be traced back to the Saxon period and the granting of the Liberty of Alresford which covered the present-day parishes of Old Alresford, New Alresford and Medstead.The Liberty may have originally been granted to the Bishop of Winchester by Cynegils, King of the West Saxons between 611 and 643, upon Cyneglis' baptism and admission into the Christian faith by St. Birinus.Alternatively, a charter from King Ine in 701 dates the Liberty to the reign of Cynegils' son, Cenwealh, who became King in 643, subsequently converted to Christianity during his exile in 645-648 and ordered a new minster, SS Peter and Paul, to be built at Winchester, which began either in 648 or 660. |
