Dating from 1724 when the almshouses forming the three sided courtyard, with St Bartholomew's chapel in the centre, were founded, along with a small hospital building.
Hagbourne parish church was built, or rebuilt, at the beginning of the 12th century, and consisted then of a nave and chancel. Only a few walls remain from this time.
St Mary's Ewelme is an exceptional church with a distinguished history. The present building has not changed greatly for almost 600 years, having been reordered in 1437. It is a rare opportunity to see a place of worship with strong echoes stretching back over 100 years before the Reformation. Many people come to see the tomb of Alice de la Pole, Geoffrey Chaucer's granddaughter.
