Titchfield is a village in the Fareham district of Hampshire, in the S of the county between Southampton and Portsmouth. The church has a W tower formed from an Anglo-Saxon W porch of the 8th or 9thc. Inside the tower is a elaborate mid-12th doorway. The S aisle is an ambitious Perpendicular structure and the chancel is also structurally probably late medieval. The S chancel chapel is clearly 14thc because of the sedilia and the chancel arcade indicating a mid to later date in the century. The S nave aisle was Romanesque but was unfortunately demolished in 1867, arcade and wall, to make way for a tall and wide Neo-Decorated aisle. A capital from the arcade survives in the S chancel chapel.

The was held by King Edward in 1066 and by King William in 1086. It was given by William Rufus to Payn, an ancestor of John de Gisors who forfeited it for his allegiance to the King of France. In 1283 the canons of nearby Titchfield Abbey appropriated the rectory, which was worth £53, 6s, 8d in 1291. They held the advowson of the church from 1231 to the Reformation.

O'Brien dates the doorway to c.1160-80, and identifies the stone as Caen.
