Tips from the Community
The Coldrey manor dates back to at least the 13th century with the house dating back to the 16th. The estate belonged to the Bishop of Winchester although it was tenanted out along with the Coldrey Cottages just to the west. The house has been re-fronted several times and each property on the estate is now privately owned. Whilst you can't visit the house itself, there is a lane alongside so you can see the estate and it's buildings from there.

Originally built in the 12th century, this Norman church has retained some of its original features, namely the chancel. The tower base dates back to the 13th century but much of what you see was largely restored during the Victorian era. The churchyard contains a few yew trees that have many stories to tell; they would've been saplings around 350 years ago.

Pylon right next to the footpath. So close, you can stand right under it.
