Preston Candover St Mary's New Church
Constructed 1884 replacing the previous church that burned down. A lovely example of flint and brick construction with an impressive steeple that can be seen for miles
The village of Preston Candover is probably of Saxon origin. It was originally called 'Prestecandavere' - the Candover belonging to the Priests. The name derives in part from the Candover Brook which rises from springs just to the south of the village, and from a religious community which flourished here before the Norman Conquest. Preston Candover falls within the Parish of Preston Candover and Nutley and at the time that the Domesday Survey was being conducted there were six separate estates, with names on the records being Candover Scotland, Stevenbury or Horwoods, Botillers Candover, Purefoys and Moundsmere
