Fawley is a small village high in the Lambourn Downs 3.5 miles east of Lambourn. The centre of the village is around a road junction where there are a handful of older houses and a small new development. There is no village pub but instead there is a small social club housed in a former small thatched cottage.
St. Mary's Church is the parish church in Fawley. The present building was built in the 19th century and replaces a medieval building. The building has a rounded apse and an oddly placed tower in the south wall. The centre arch on the south side is thought to be the original chancel arch from the medieval church, and a pair of capitals were salvaged from the old building. There are also a pair of 12th century stoups (basins for holding water) at the west end of the church. |
