Honiley Church. An elderly Sir Christopher Wren bought the neighbouring manor of Wroxall in 1700. He became friends with the squire of Honiley and, when asked at dinner to design a new church for the parish, sketched the design on a napkin at the dinner table. C18 churches are rare in this country, most ecclesiastical work from this period involves the updating of existing church fabric, although St pauls church in Brum is about the same vintage.

The old church of Honiley may have had a shrine attached: there exists a doubtful fifteenth century charter exempting the parish from church taxes and which mentions a holy well, and separate bathing areas for men and women. Nothing seems to remain today, although a spring rises in the field behind the church.

The house in the last picture is 100 yards or so from the church, and was probably a tied farm built around the same time as the church. The triangular dormer window is unusual.
