Church Path

Street guide, Titchfield

Church Path is a pedestrian route that connects the southern end of South Street to St Peter's Church and the churchyard. It is one of the oldest routes in the village, worn into the ground by centuries of worshippers making their way to the church. The path passes through the churchyard, which contains gravestones dating from the eighteenth century and earlier. The mature trees in the churchyard provide shade and a sense of enclosure. Church Path is short but atmospheric, and it provides a quiet connection between the village centre and the church that avoids the road. For visitors exploring the village, it is a route that should not be missed. The church itself, with its Saxon nave and porch, is the architectural highlight at the end of the path.
