St Mary Magdalen Church, Widley, Hampshire, England
Notes: Along Widley Walk, which is to the east of Fort Widley, is the original and now deserted mediaeval site of the village of Widley. The village consisted of a church, a manor house and quite a number of small cottages. All that remains of the village is the graveyard of the church, the rest of the village now being farm or woodland.
It has also been stated that the old Widley Village was forcibly moved east to its present location during the 1860s so as to "deny the enemy any cover" during the construction of the Palmerston Forts.
In January 1953 the church was bulldozed and the graveyard cleared. The original foundations have been exposed and marked by a dry rubble wall. [ source: http://www.portsdown-tunnels.org.uk/ancient_sites/widley_church.html ]
