The modern church of the HOLY TRINITY, PRIVETT, is a fine flint
structure with Doulting stone dressings in thirteenth-century
style. It consists of a chancel, a clearstoried nave of four bays
with aisles, transepts, and north porch, and a western tower with a
spire, containing eight bells, cast in 1878.
The tower and spire of Privett church form a prominent and
unexpected landmark, in a deeply rural part of the Hampshire
countryside which has changed little since Gilbert White wrote
about it in the 18th century. A magnificent edifice, it was
designed by Blomfield and built at the expense of Sir William
Nicholson, the distiller, in 1876-78. It has a four-bay nave with
aisles and clerestory, transepts and a sumptuously appointed
chancel that, with its mosaic floor, conveys the quality and
craftsmanship of the whole.
If any body would like to expand to this series please do, I
would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he
can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid
duplication
