Tichborne is a village in the City of Winchester distrct of the county, 4 miles E of Winchester. The Rive Itchen runs through the village. The church is at the end of Church Lane which runs westwards out of the village. It consists of an 11-12th-century chancel (see windows) and a 13thc nave with 2-bay aisles. The N aisle has been railed off to form the Tichborne Chapel, dominated by the 17th-century tomb of Sir Benjamin Tichborne (d.1621) and his wife Amphillis. The nave is furnished with 16th and 17thc box pews. At the W end of the church is a brick tower added in 1703. The only Romanesque feature recorded here is the font.

There is no entry for Tichborne in the Domesday Survey, but it was granted by King Edward the Elder to Denewi=ulf, Bishop of Winchester in 909 for 3 lives. The grant was not renewed by Athelstan (reg. 924-39). In 964 King Edgar granted Tichborne to Winchester Cathedral. In 1135 Walter de Tichborne held 2 knights' fees from Henry, Bishop of Winchester, and from then it was held by the Tichborne family under the Bishops of Winchester until the baronetcy lapsed on the death of the 14th baronet in 1968.

The font is unusual and not entirely convincing as a Romanesque object.
